pg_fetch_assoc

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)

pg_fetch_assoc -- Fetch a row as an associative array

Description

array pg_fetch_assoc ( resource result [, int row])

pg_fetch_assoc() returns an associative array that corresponds to the fetched row (tuples/records). It returns FALSE, if there are no more rows.

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

Note: This function sets NULL fields to PHP NULL value.

row is row (record) number to be retrieved. First row is 0.

pg_fetch_assoc() is NOT significantly slower than using pg_fetch_row(), while it provides a significant ease of use.

Example 1. pg_fetch_assoc() example

<?php
$conn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher");
if (!$conn) {
    echo "An error occured.\n";
    exit;
}

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

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