pg_delete
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
pg_delete — Deletes records
Description
PgSql\Connection
$connection
,string
$table_name
,array
$conditions
,int
$flags
= PGSQL_DML_EXEC
): string|bool
pg_delete() deletes records from a table
specified by the keys and values in conditions
.
If flags
is specified,
pg_convert() is applied to
conditions
with the specified flags.
By default pg_delete() passes raw values.
Values must be escaped or the PGSQL_DML_ESCAPE
flag
must be specified in flags
.
PGSQL_DML_ESCAPE
quotes and escapes parameters/identifiers.
Therefore, table/column names become 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
-
An PgSql\Connection instance.
-
table_name
-
Name of the table from which to delete rows.
-
conditions
-
An array whose keys are field names in the table
table_name
, and whose values are the values of those fields that are to be deleted. -
flags
-
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 theflags
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 flags
.

Examples
Example #1 pg_delete() 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 neither escape nor prepared query.
$res = pg_delete($db, 'post_log', $_POST, PG_DML_ESCAPE);
if ($res) {
echo "POST data is deleted: $res\n";
} else {
echo "User must have sent wrong inputs\n";
}
?>
