PHP : Function Reference : PostgreSQL Functions : pg_select

pg_select

Select records (PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
mixed pg_select ( resource connection, string table_name, array assoc_array [, int options] )

Example 1971. pg_select() example

<?php
 $db
= pg_connect('dbname=foo');
 
// This is safe, since $_POST is converted automatically
 
$rec = pg_select($db, 'post_log', $_POST);
 if (
$rec) {
     echo
"Records selected\n";
     
var_dump($rec);
 } else {
     echo
"User must have sent wrong inputs\n";
 }
?>

Valid options are PGSQL_DML_NO_CONV, PGSQL_DML_EXEC, PGSQL_DMP_ASYNC, PGSQL_DML_STRING (pulled out of source code).
This function does not support selecting from multiple tables.  You can get around this by setting the PGSQL_DML_NO_CONV option.  This prevents the error which occurs when the function tries to convert the condition array.
I think it is also important to point out that the table_name field is not safe, particularily with the PGSQL_DML_NO_CONV option.
The arguements array field is compulsory, as documented.  What isn't so clear is that the array has to actually have some values in it, you can't do a select all.
In summary, this function is good for a very small subset of basic queries.  If you are after anything more complex you are better off with pg_query.

David mentioned that you can't do a Select all.
However, when executing this script:
<?php
$conn_string = "dbname=mydb";
$db = pg_connect($conn_string);
$selectfields = array("imgid" => "");
$records = pg_select($db,"mmsfiles",$selectfields);
print_r($records);
?>
...I get this result:
Array
(
   [0] => Array
       (
           [imgid] => 1
           [file] => /home/wietse/public_html/mms/images/1.gif
           [thumb] =>
       )
   [1] => Array
       (
           [imgid] => 2
           [file] => /home/wietse/public_html/mms/images/2.gif
           [thumb] =>
       )
   [2] => Array
       (
           [imgid] => 3
           [file] => /home/wietse/public_html/mms/images/3.gif
           [thumb] =>
       )
   [3] => Array
       (
           [imgid] => 4
           [file] => /home/wietse/public_html/mms/images/4.gif
           [thumb] =>
       )
)
