Sorry that was a typo the query I had in my test case reads as follows:

$query  = "CREATE COLUMNFAMILY smoke (KEY text PRIMARY KEY, monkey text)
WITH comparator = text AND default_validation = text";

thanks for your response, still have the same issue. it seems thrift php
interface exception aren't always very descriptive. code snippet

    try{

            echo "Executing create column query <br/>";
            //$query = "CREATE KEYSPACE southafrica WITH
strategy_options:replication_factor = 1 AND strategy_class =
'SimpleStrategy'";
            $query  = "CREATE COLUMNFAMILY smoke (KEY text PRIMARY KEY,
monkey text) WITH comparator = text AND default_validation = text";
            $result = $cassandraClient->execute_cql_query( $query ,
cassandra_Compression::NONE );

            echo "|". print_r($result) . "|" . "<br>";

    }catch( cassandra_InvalidRequestException $exrs ){
        echo "COLUMNFAMILY error occuired -- <br> " .
$exrs->getTraceAsString() . " <br>";
    }catch( Exception $ex ){
        echo $ex->getTraceAsString();

        throw $ex;
    }


CREATE KEYSPACE southafrica works perfetly, USE southafrica works, but
"create columnfamily" :( makes my heart ache...
