DataStax Enterprise 5.0 doesn't have a PHP driver. I need to use DSE Graph, What do I do ? Write Python Code and somehow run it using PHP ? Is there a timeline of when they are going to release this ? Any ideas anyone ?

Since the PHP driver is built on top of the DataStax Enterprise C++ driver, it necessarily lags releases on that driver. There are no firm dates, but I can say the DSE C++ driver should be GA mid-October 2016, and the PHP driver will be RC status some weeks after that.
The alternative for now is to write in any of the other languages with GA graph support: Java, Python, Ruby, node.js, or C#.

Just wanted a timeline! Thanks a lot! – BSathvik Oct 07 '16 at 20:29

Wait, but in the link you give me. It suggests that C++ drivers are already available. There is already a C++ Driver for DSE right ? – BSathvik Oct 07 '16 at 20:43

It shows docs for the C++ 1.0 API, which is only in RC status presently. That's not obvious in the docs, but you would find that searching for the released package. – Adam Holmberg Oct 10 '16 at 19:18

Nothing yet. Can you give a rough timeline. – BSathvik Nov 09 '16 at 13:02

Had contact with datastax and get it running now on CentOS 7:
# Download and install the dependencies for PHP DSE driver v1.0.0
sudo rpm -Uvh http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/centos/7/dependencies/libuv/v1.11.0/libuv-1.11.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/centos/7/dse/v1.1.0/dse-cpp-driver-1.1.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh http://downloads.datastax.com/php-driver/centos/7/dse/v1.0.0/php70w-dse-driver-1.0.0stable-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm
# Ensure that the PHP DSE driver is installed correctly
php -i | grep -A 11 "^dse$
We are running here with zend server and we are getting the following error when trying to install the dse driver rpm:
error: Failed dependencies:
php(api) = 20151012-64 is needed by php70w-dse-driver-1:1.0.0stable-1.el7.centos.x86_64
php(zend-abi) = 20151012-64 is needed by php70w-dse-driver-1:1.0.0stable-1.el7.centos.x86_64
Checking we had the right version with:
phpize -v
Configuring for:
PHP Api Version: 20151012
Zend Module Api No: 20151012
Zend Extension Api No: 320151012
We solved this with installing the rpm with the flag nodeps:
sudo rpm -Uvh --nodeps http://downloads.datastax.com/php-driver/centos/7/dse/v1.0.0/php70w-dse-driver-1.0.0stable-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm
Then copy the dse.so to the plugin directory for PHP. And load the extension with a .ini file or directly in php.ini.
sudo cp /usr/lib64/php/modules/dse.so /usr/local/zend/lib/php_extensions/
The documentation of the PHP DSE API you can find here:
