Fetch a row as an associative array (PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
array pg_fetch_assoc ( resource result [, int row] )

Example 1922. 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'];
}
?>

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"

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.

If you request a row that does not exist, it just fails, rather than simply returning 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);
   }
}

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>';
?>

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

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.

$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>

";
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.
