Thank you Michael,
for that confirmation
I reported the bug to the PHP team, and they issued a patch.
I would also suggest to postgres developpers to simplify their code and go
back to SQL standards :)
That BINARY CURSOR thing should be avoided. With MySQL for instance, a
cursor will read the same way any type of data, binary or text.
Best regards,

i am trying to retrieve binary content of a bytea field (or postgis

But my shape field shows only two bytes of data.
The PHP source code (ext/pgsql/pgsql.c) doesn't have any calls to
PQfformat or PQbinaryTuples so PHP appears to expect text data.
Looks like you'll have to fetch data in text format and use
pg_unescape_bytea.
Maybe the PHP developers would consider adding support for binary
data (or maybe they already have and rejected the idea; I don't
know). Try asking on a PHP mailing list.
