pg_connection_busy() returning true does not necessarily mean that there are results waiting for pg_get_result(); it also stays true for some time after a query that causes any sort of postgres error. (See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36469)
(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
pg_connection_busy — Vérifie si la connexion PostgreSQL est occupée
pg_connection_busy() détermine si la connexion est occupée. Si elle est occupée, une requête a déjà été lancée, et est en cours. Si pg_get_result() est utilisée, elle sera alors bloquée.
| Version | Description |

| 8.1.0 |
Le paramètre connection attend désormais une instance de
PgSql\Connection ; auparavant, une resource était attendu.

Exemple #1 Exemple avec pg_connection_busy()
<?php
$dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Connexion impossible");
$bs = pg_connection_busy($dbconn);
if ($bs) {
echo 'La connexion est occupée';
} else {
echo 'La connexion est libre';
}
?>
pg_connection_busy() returning true does not necessarily mean that there are results waiting for pg_get_result(); it also stays true for some time after a query that causes any sort of postgres error. (See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36469)There doesn't seem to be any documented way of using this function here, and I'm sore most people trying this are going to default to using a busy loop if there is nothing else to do while waiting (in which case pg_get_result would be better, since it just blocks until a result is ready) or a sleep loop if trying to cancel the query after a certain time.
The C documentation for libPq reccomends using PQisBusy (the C equivalent of pg_connection_busy) by waiting on a socket instead, which lets you timeout if the state doesn't change after a certain period but immediately react if it changes. If you want to cancel after a timeout, you would have something like this :
<?php
class SomeKindOfTimeoutException extends Exception { }
class SomeKindOfSQLErrorException extends Exception { }
function query_with_timeout($conn, $query, $timeout_seconds) {
assert(pg_get_result($conn) === false); // Ensure that nothing is running
$socket = [pg_socket($conn)];
$null = [];
$dispatch_ok = pg_send_query($conn, $query);
$still_running = pg_connection_busy($conn);
while($still_running) {
// https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/libpq-async.html
// "A typical application using these functions will have a main loop that uses select() or poll() to wait for all the conditions that it must respond to."
// "One of the conditions will be input available from the server, which in terms of select() means readable data on the file descriptor identified by PQsocket."
// PQisBusy is mapped to pg_connection_busy
stream_select($socket, $null, $null, $timeout_seconds); // Will wait on that socket until that happens or the timeout is reached
$still_running = pg_connection_busy($conn); // False on timeout, true if complete
// You could keep polling like that, this just breaks and throws immediately on first loop
if ($still_running) {
$cancel_ok = pg_cancel_query($conn);
throw new SomeKindOfTimeoutException("TIMEOUT");
}
}
$res = pg_get_result($conn);
try {
$error_msg = pg_result_error($res);
if ($error_msg) throw new SomeKindOfSQLErrorException($error_msg);
return pg_fetch_all($res);
} finally {
pg_free_result($res);
}
}
$conn_string = "host=localhost port=5433 dbname=postgres";
$db = pg_connect($conn_string);
query_with_timeout($db, "SELECT pg_sleep(10)", 3); // Will throw
?>
