PG_QUERY(3) PG_QUERY(3) pg_query - Execute a query SYNOPSIS
resource pg_query ([resource $connection], string $query) DESCRIPTION
pg_query(3) executes the $query on the specified database $connection. pg_query_params(3) should be preferred in most cases. If an error occurs, and FALSE is returned, details of the error can be retrieved using the pg_last_error(3) function if the connection is valid. Note Although $connection can be omitted, it is not recommended, since it can be the cause of hard to find bugs in scripts. Note This function used to be called pg_exec(3). pg_exec(3) is still available for compatibility reasons, but users are encouraged to use the newer name. PARAMETERS
o $connection - PostgreSQL database connection resource. When $connection is not present, the default connection is used. The default connection is the last connection made by pg_connect(3) or pg_pconnect(3). o $query - The SQL statement or statements to be executed. When multiple statements are passed to the function, they are automatically exe- cuted as one transaction, unless there are explicit BEGIN/COMMIT commands included in the query string. However, using multiple transactions in one function call is not recommended. Warning String interpolation of user-supplied data is extremely dangerous and is likely to lead to SQL injection vulnerabilities. In most cases pg_query_params(3) should be preferred, passing user-supplied values as parameters rather than substituting them into the query string. Any user-supplied data substituted directly into a query string should be properly escaped. RETURN VALUES
A query result resource on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 pg_query(3) example <?php $conn = pg_pconnect("dbname=publisher"); if (!$conn) { echo "An error occurred. "; exit; } $result = pg_query($conn, "SELECT author, email FROM authors"); if (!$result) { echo "An error occurred. "; exit; } while ($row = pg_fetch_row($result)) { echo "Author: $row[0] E-mail: $row[1]"; echo "<br /> "; } ?> Example #2 Using pg_query(3) with multiple statements <?php $conn = pg_pconnect("dbname=publisher"); // these statements will be executed as one transaction $query = "UPDATE authors SET author=UPPER(author) WHERE id=1;"; $query .= "UPDATE authors SET author=LOWER(author) WHERE id=2;"; $query .= "UPDATE authors SET author=NULL WHERE id=3;"; pg_query($conn, $query); ?> SEE ALSO
