I just did it and it worked fine: $query = "select version()"; $res = pg_exec($conn,$query); if(!$res) { die("not found"); } if(($x = pg_numrows($res)) < 1) { echo("not found in database\n"); exit; } $row = pg_fetch_row($res,$ii); echo("version: $row[0]"); and it gives: version: PostgreSQL 7.1.2 on i386-unknown-freebsd4.2, compiled by GCC 2.95.2 Maybe it's really old?
