pg_select
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5, PHP 7)
pg_select — Select records
Description
$connection
, string $table_name
, array $assoc_array
[, int $options
= PGSQL_DML_EXEC
[, int $result_type
= PGSQL_ASSOC
]] ) : mixedpg_select() selects records specified by assoc_array which has field=>value. For a successful query, it returns an array containing all records and fields that match the condition specified by assoc_array.
If options is specified, pg_convert() is applied to assoc_array with the specified flags.
By default pg_select() passes raw values. Values must be escaped or PGSQL_DML_ESCAPE option must be specified. PGSQL_DML_ESCAPE quotes and escapes paramters/identifiers. Therefore, table/column names became case sensitive.
Note that neither escape nor prepared query can protect LIKE query, JSON, Array, Regex, etc. These parameters should be handled according to their contexts. i.e. Escape/validate values.
Parameters
-
connection
-
PostgreSQL database connection resource.
-
table_name
-
Name of the table from which to select rows.
-
assoc_array
-
An array whose keys are field names in the table
table_name
, and whose values are the conditions that a row must meet to be retrieved. -
options
-
Any number of
PGSQL_CONV_FORCE_NULL
,PGSQL_DML_NO_CONV
,PGSQL_DML_ESCAPE
,PGSQL_DML_EXEC
,PGSQL_DML_ASYNC
orPGSQL_DML_STRING
combined. IfPGSQL_DML_STRING
is part of theoptions
then query string is returned. WhenPGSQL_DML_NO_CONV
orPGSQL_DML_ESCAPE
is set, it does not call pg_convert() internally.
Return Values
Returns TRUE
on success or FALSE
on failure. Returns string if PGSQL_DML_STRING
is passed
via options
.
Examples
Example #1 pg_select() example
<?php
$db = pg_connect('dbname=foo');
// This is safe somewhat, since all values are escaped.
// However PostgreSQL supports JSON/Array. These are not
// safe by nither escape nor prepared query.
$rec = pg_select($db, 'post_log', $_POST, PG_DML_ESCAPE);
if ($rec) {
echo "Records selected\n";
var_dump($rec);
} else {
echo "User must have sent wrong inputs\n";
}
?>
