title: Write php array in HBase using thrift
body: <p>I have a Thrift php client and I want to write in a HBase table and I'm doing the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  $mutations = array(
      new Mutation( array(
        'column' =&gt; 'entry:num',
        'value' =&gt; array('a','b','c')
      ) ),
    );
    $client-&gt;mutateRow( $t, $row, $mutations );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that when inserting in HBase the value, which is an array, gets converted to 'Array' instead of storing the elements of the array.
  How can I store the list as an array (or byte array)</p>
