PG_LAST_NOTICE(3)														 PG_LAST_NOTICE(3)

pg_last_notice - Returns the last notice message from PostgreSQL server

SYNOPSIS

       string pg_last_notice (resource	$connection)

DESCRIPTION

       pg_last_notice(3)  returns  the	last  notice  message from the PostgreSQL server on the specified $connection. The PostgreSQL server sends
       notice messages in several cases, for instance when creating a SERIAL column in a table.

	With pg_last_notice(3), you can avoid issuing useless queries by checking whether or not the notice is related to your transaction.

	Notice message tracking can be set to optional by setting 1 for pgsql.ignore_notice in php.ini.

	Notice message logging can be set to optional by setting 0 for pgsql.log_notice in php.ini. Unless pgsql.ignore_notice is set to 0, notice
       message cannot be logged.

PARAMETERS

	      o $connection
		- PostgreSQL database connection resource.

RETURN VALUES

	A string containing the last notice on the given $connection, or FALSE on error.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      pg_last_notice(3) example

	      <?php
		$pgsql_conn = pg_connect("dbname=mark host=localhost");

		$res = pg_query("CREATE TABLE test (id SERIAL)");

		$notice = pg_last_notice($pgsql_conn);

		echo $notice;
	      ?>
