This function is as simple as it sounds, it returns the name of the database your are currently connected to on the handle retrieved from a pg_connect() call.<?php $pgsql_conn = pg_connect("dbname=mark host=localhost"); if ($pgsql_conn) { print "Successfully connected to database: " . pg_dbname($pgsql_conn) . " on " . pg_host($pgsql_conn) . "<br/>\n"; } else { print pg_last_error($pgsql_conn); exit; }?>[mark@prodigy][*][~/public_html/php]>>>php pg_dbname.phpContent-type: text/htmlX-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.1Successfully connected to database: mark on localhost<br/>Again this function is much more useful when you are changing which database you are connected to in your program.Regards, --mark
