Examples
Example #1 Getting table metadata
<?php
$dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect");
$meta = pg_meta_data($dbconn, 'authors');
if (is_array($meta)) {
echo '<pre>';
var_dump($meta);
echo '</pre>';
}
?>
The above example will output:
array(3) { ["author"]=> array(5) { ["num"]=> int(1) ["type"]=> string(7) "varchar" ["len"]=> int(-1) ["not null"]=> bool(false) ["has default"]=> bool(false) } ["year"]=> array(5) { ["num"]=> int(2) ["type"]=> string(4) "int2" ["len"]=> int(2) ["not null"]=> bool(false) ["has default"]=> bool(false) } ["title"]=> array(5) { ["num"]=> int(3) ["type"]=> string(7) "varchar" ["len"]=> int(-1) ["not null"]=> bool(false) ["has default"]=> bool(false) } }
