PG_FETCH_ASSOC(3)														 PG_FETCH_ASSOC(3)

pg_fetch_assoc - Fetch a row as an associative array

SYNOPSIS
       array pg_fetch_assoc (resource  $result, [int  $row])

DESCRIPTION
       pg_fetch_assoc(3) returns an associative array that corresponds to the fetched row (records).

       pg_fetch_assoc(3)  is equivalent to calling pg_fetch_array(3) with PGSQL_ASSOC as the optional third parameter. It only returns an associa-
       tive array. If you need the numeric indices, use pg_fetch_row(3).

       Note

	      This function sets NULL fields to the PHP NULL value.

       pg_fetch_assoc(3) is NOT significantly slower than using pg_fetch_row(3), and is significantly easier to use.

PARAMETERS
	      o $result
		- PostgreSQL query result resource, returned by pg_query(3), pg_query_params(3) or pg_execute(3) (among others).

	      o $row
		- Row number in result to fetch. Rows are numbered from 0 upwards. If omitted or NULL, the next row is fetched.

RETURN VALUES
	An array indexed associatively (by field name). Each value in the array is represented as a string. Database NULL values are  returned	as
       NULL.

       FALSE is returned if $row exceeds the number of rows in the set, there are no more rows, or on any other error.

EXAMPLES
       Example #1

";
		exit;
	      }

	      $result = pg_query($conn, "SELECT id, author, email FROM authors");
	      if (!$result) {
		echo "An error occurred.
";
		exit;
	      }

	      while ($row = pg_fetch_assoc($result)) {
		echo $row['id'];
		echo $row['author'];
		echo $row['email'];
	      }
	      ?>
