PG_FIELD_TYPE_OID(3)													      PG_FIELD_TYPE_OID(3)

pg_field_type_oid - Returns the type ID (OID) for the corresponding field number

SYNOPSIS
int pg_field_type_oid (resource $result, int $field_number) DESCRIPTION
pg_field_type_oid(3) returns an integer containing the OID of the base type of the given $field_number in the given PostgreSQL $result resource. You can get more information about the field type by querying PostgreSQL's pg_type system table using the OID obtained with this function. The PostgreSQL format_type(3) function will convert a type OID into an SQL standard type name. Note If the field uses a PostgreSQL domain (rather than a basic type), it is the OID of the domain's underlying type that is returned, rather than the OID of the domain itself. PARAMETERS
o $result - PostgreSQL query result resource, returned by pg_query(3), pg_query_params(3) or pg_execute(3) (among others). o $field_number - Field number, starting from 0. RETURN VALUES
The OID of the field's base type. FALSE is returned on error. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Getting information about fields <?php $dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect"); // Assume 'title' is a varchar type $res = pg_query($dbconn, "select title from authors where author = 'Orwell'"); echo "Title field type OID: ", pg_field_type_oid($res, 0); ?> The above example will output: Title field type OID: 1043 SEE ALSO
