pg_query
(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7)
pg_query — Execute a query
Description
$connection
], string $query
) : resource
pg_query() executes the query
on the specified database connection.
pg_query_params() should be preferred
in most cases.
If an error occurs, and FALSE is returned, details of the error can
be retrieved using the pg_last_error()
function if the connection is valid.
Note: Although
connectioncan be omitted, it is not recommended, since it can be the cause of hard to find bugs in scripts.
Note:
This function used to be called pg_exec(). pg_exec() is still available for compatibility reasons, but users are encouraged to use the newer name.
Parameters
-
connection -
PostgreSQL database connection resource. When
connectionis not present, the default connection is used. The default connection is the last connection made by pg_connect() or pg_pconnect(). -
query -
The SQL statement or statements to be executed. When multiple statements are passed to the function, they are automatically executed as one transaction, unless there are explicit BEGIN/COMMIT commands included in the query string. However, using multiple transactions in one function call is not recommended.
WarningString interpolation of user-supplied data is extremely dangerous and is likely to lead to SQL injection vulnerabilities. In most cases pg_query_params() should be preferred, passing user-supplied values as parameters rather than substituting them into the query string.
Any user-supplied data substituted directly into a query string should be properly escaped.
Examples
Example #1 pg_query() example
<?php
$conn = pg_pconnect("dbname=publisher");
if (!$conn) {
echo "An error occurred.\n";
exit;
}
$result = pg_query($conn, "SELECT author, email FROM authors");
if (!$result) {
echo "An error occurred.\n";
exit;
}
while ($row = pg_fetch_row($result)) {
echo "Author: $row[0] E-mail: $row[1]";
echo "<br />\n";
}
?>
Example #2 Using pg_query() with multiple statements
<?php
$conn = pg_pconnect("dbname=publisher");
// these statements will be executed as one transaction
$query = "UPDATE authors SET author=UPPER(author) WHERE id=1;";
$query .= "UPDATE authors SET author=LOWER(author) WHERE id=2;";
$query .= "UPDATE authors SET author=NULL WHERE id=3;";
pg_query($conn, $query);
?>
