Beware! If your query returns multiple columns with the same names, only the right-most one will be contained in the result array. This can cause problems if you are using a combination of joins:
For example:
<?php
// Let's say that 'pkey' is the primary-key colum for tables a and b (primary keys are never null)
$res = pg_query("Select a.pkey, b.* FROM a LEFT JOIN b using (pkey)");
$data = pg_fetch_assoc($res);
var_dump($data['pkey']) // Is actually b.pkey, may be NULL!
?>
Both tables contain a column named 'pkey'. Now table 'b' is on the optional side of a LEFT JOIN, so b.pkey (implicitly included via 'b.*') may be NULL.
The problem arises when you use pg_fetch_assoc(), there are two columns named 'pkey' but the result array can only contain one value per key -- in this case it will pick the one from table B instead of the one from table A, and since B is on the optional side of the left-join, $data['pkey'] may be NULL. So if you're expecting to retrieve the column from table A, you need to use a different pg_fetch() or rewrite your query to avoid ambiguity.
pg_fetch_assoc
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
pg_fetch_assoc — Holt eine Zeile als assoziatives Array
Beschreibung
pg_fetch_assoc() gibt eine Zeile eines Abfrageergebnisses als assoziatives Array zurück.
pg_fetch_assoc() ist äquivalent zu pg_fetch_array() mit PGSQL_ASSOC als optionalem dritten Parameter. Zurückgegeben wird nur ein assoziatives Array. Falls Sie ein numerisches Array brauchen, müssen Sie die Funktion pg_fetch_row() benutzen.
Hinweis: Diese Funktion setzt NULL-Felder auf den PHP Wert-NULL.
pg_fetch_assoc() ist nur unwesentlich langsamer als pg_fetch_row(), aber wesentlich einfacher zu benutzen.
Parameter-Liste
- result
-
PostgreSQL Verbindungskennung, die (unter anderem) von den Funktionen pg_query(), pg_query_params() oder pg_execute() zurückgegeben wurde.
- row
-
Die Nummer der Zeile des Abfrageergebnisses, die geholt werden soll. Die Nummerierung beginnt bei 0. Fehlt dieser Parameter, so wird jeweils die nächste Zeile geholt.
Rückgabewerte
Ein array, das mit den Feldnamen des Abfrageergebnisses indiziert ist. Jeder Wert im array wird als string repräsentiert. Nullwerte der Datenbank (NULL) werden als NULL zurückgegeben.
Bei einem Fehler oder wenn der Parameter row größer als die Anzahl der Zeilen im Abfrageergebnis ist, oder wenn kein Datensatz mehr gelesen werden kann, wird FALSE zurückgegeben.
Changelog
| Version | Beschreibung |
|---|---|
| 4.1.0 | Der Parameter row wurde optional. |
Beispiele
Beispiel #1 pg_fetch_assoc() Beispiel
<?php
$conn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher");
if (!$conn) {
echo "Konnte keine Verbindung aufbauen.\n";
exit;
}
$result = pg_query($conn, "SELECT id, author, email FROM authors");
if (!$result) {
echo "Ein Fehler ist aufgetreten.\n";
exit;
}
while ($row = pg_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo $row['id'];
echo $row['author'];
echo $row['email'];
}
?>

bytea columns are returned escaped.
you need to call pg-unescape-bytea() on them to get the original binary back.

regarding the optional int parameter
requesting a row number that is not present in the result set is an error. don't do it.
check with pg_num_rows() beforehand, or just use the default behavior which returns the rows in order and false after returning the last row it returns false immediately if no rows were returned.

In a bit of follow-up to Luke's note about SQL booleans (this was a painful thing to learn the hard way), a relatively easy workaround is to typecase the boolean columns to integer inside the query, e.g:
<?php
// Assuming 'foo' is a table column of type boolean
$res = pg_query("Select foo as foo1, foo::integer as foo2 from bar");
$data = pg_fetch_assoc($res);
if ($data['foo1']) echo 'foo1 = TRUE'; // Doesn't work as expected (string 't' and string 'f' both evaluate as TRUE)
if ($data['foo2']) echo 'foo2 = TRUE'; // Works as expected (string '0' evaluates as FALSE)
?>

Is worth to know that when you query on multiple tables only the first row with each name is returned.
That is, if you are joining to tables with a column called 'name' you will receive only one field called name in the array and it will correspond to the one on the first table.
Is advisable to allways allias your columns in that stuation.

Here is another way to iterate a resultset and display all columns in very little code... might be faster than a foreach
<?php
print '<table>';
while($row=pg_fetch_assoc($rs2)) print '<tr><td>'.join('</td><td>',$row2).'</td></tr>';
print '</table>';
?>
If you request a row that does not exist, it just fails, rather than simply returning false.

Note:
PostgreSQL boolean values set to TRUE are returned as the string "t"
PostgreSQL boolean values set to FALSE are returned as the string "f"

$dbconn3 = pg_connect("host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=blah user=blah password=blah");
$result = pg_query($dbconn3, "SELECT * FROM Packages");
echo "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>PostgreSQL Test Page</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>";
echo "<TABLE>";
$pkg = pg_fetch_assoc($result);
foreach ($pkg as $value) {
echo "<TR><TD>$value";
echo "</TR></TD>";
}
echo "</TABLE><P>";
echo "This package's full filename is: {$pkg['name']}-{$pkg['version']}{$pkg['extension']}";
echo "</BODY></HTML>";
For generating tables, this works, and personally I prefer foreach() to while loops because there's no danger of accidentally causing an infinite loop...foreach only works for as long as it has something to work with, and then stops. I thought the echo down the bottom might come in handy, too...took me a bit to find that out.

An important thing to note (as of PHP 4.3.2):
If you are used to using the "extended" comparision operators (=== and !==) to try to make your code easier to follow visually, this function will return NULL if the provided resource handle is invalid (as opposed to false). ie,
$rs = @pg_query('SELECT * FROM fake_table');
while (false !== ($row = @pg_fetch_assoc($rs)))
{
print_r($row);
}
Obviously you should check to see if $rs === false before you start the while loop, but this example is used to illustrate a potential infinite loop problem if $rs IS false.

If you are moving between different versions of PHP, this might be handy:
if (!function_exists('pg_fetch_assoc')) {
function pg_fetch_assoc ($result)
{
return @pg_fetch_array($result, NULL, PGSQL_ASSOC);
}
}

At a glance, the syntax listed at the top of this page doesn't match the example. The PGSQL_ASSOC flag isn't necessary.
