Example #1 pg_num_fields() example
<?php
$result = pg_query($conn, "SELECT 1, 2");
$num = pg_num_fields($result);
echo $num . " field(s) returned.\n";
?>The above example will output:
2 field(s) returned.
Here is a simple example for using pg_num_feilds, pg_num_rows and pg_result together. I'm simply SELECTing * from a table named markie on the current pg_connect().
<?php
$pgsql_conn = pg_connect("dbname=mark host=localhost");
if (!$pgsql_conn) {
print pg_last_error($pgsql_conn);
exit;
}
$results = pg_query($pgsql_conn, "SELECT * FROM markie");
echo "<table border=1>\n";
for($lt = 0; $lt < pg_num_rows($results); $lt++) {
echo "<tr>\n";
for($gt = 0; $gt < pg_num_fields($results); $gt++) {
echo "<td>" . pg_result($results, $lt, $gt) . "</td>\n";
}
echo "</tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n";
pg_close($pgsql_conn);
?>
This code snippet will print out the rows and columns into a HTML table.
