There is a good example of how to use pg_fetch_result in the docs at http://php.net/manual/en/function.pg-fetch-result.php. On the basis of the code shown here, it's a bit hard to determine exactly what your problem is; however the odds are that the error "supplied argument is not a valid PostgreSQL result resource" results from a SQL syntax error, or possibly that you have failed to open a connection to pgsql. However, there are some tools to help you; see http://php.net/manual/en/function.pg-result-error.php For future reference, it helps to post all the code that is relevant to your problem, so in this case it would help, for example, to see how you are making the connection to pgsql and how the $query variable is populated.
