Good time of the day! It's easy to work with Postgres from PHP scripts. You can access all you need - tuples, fields, etc. BUT I was unable to find a way to get a PostgreSQL reply on queries like "BEGIN" or (more important) "COMMIT". E.g. when I execute a query like $tmp = pg_Exec($connection, "SELECT * ...") I can get a number of returned tuples with pg_numrows($tmp), etc. But when I execute $tmp = pg_Exec($connection, "BEGIN") I was unable to get anything out of $tmp. And I'm pretty sure that PostgreSQL's reply "BEGIN" should be somewhere there... There are a number of such queries and it would be useful to be able to read output in order to know if things are going good or bad... Any ideas? Oh, well, and pg_errormessage doesn't work _on such queries_ either - it's empty... Also, it works fine in Perl script with Pg installed - you simply use $tmp->cmdStatus Best regards, Dmitri ( mailto:dmitri@xxxxxxxxxxx ) New SOFT daily (RUS): http://www.listsoft.ru/ (ENG): http://www.listsoft.com/ Articles, tips : http://www.diskovod.ru/ --- User Error: replace user and press any key to continue.
