If you read this doc "Use paging state token to get next result",

https://datastax.github.io/php-driver/features/result_paging/

We can use "paging state token" to paginate at application level. So PHP logic should look like,

withContactPoints('127.0.0.1')->build();
$session   = $cluster->connect("simplex");
$statement = new Cassandra\SimpleStatement("SELECT * FROM paging_entries Limit ".($limit+$offset));

$result = $session->execute($statement, new Cassandra\ExecutionOptions(array('page_size' => $offset)));
// Now $result has all rows till "$offset" which we can skip and jump to next page to fetch "$limit" rows.

while ($result->pagingStateToken()) {
    $result = $session->execute($statement, new Cassandra\ExecutionOptions($options = array('page_size' => $limit,'paging_state_token' => $result->pagingStateToken())));
    foreach ($result as $row) {
      printf("key: '%s' value: %d\n", $row['key'], $row['value']);
    }
}
?>
