Re: PHP and COPY

[Adam Witney <awitney@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try something along these lines..... (this snippet is untested but should
get you started)


$dbh = pg_connect($connstr);

$sql = "COPY table (field1, field2, field3) from stdin;";

$result = pg_query($dbh, $sql);

$data = "blah\tblah\tblah\n";

$stat = pg_put_line($dbh, $data);
                   
if(!$stat)
    {
     echo "copy failed: ".pg_errormessage($dbh)."<br>\n";
    }

pg_put_line($dbh, "\\.\n");
pg_end_copy($dbh);
