pg_fetch_assoc — Lit une ligne de résultat PostgreSQL sous forme de tableau associatif
pg_fetch_assoc() retourne un tableau associatif qui
contient la ligne en cours dans le résultat result.
pg_fetch_assoc() est équivalent d'appeler
pg_fetch_row() avec PGSQL_ASSOC
comme troisième paramètre (qui est optionnel). Cela retournera seulement un
tableau associatif. Si vous avez besoin d'indices numériques, utilisez
pg_fetch_row().
Note: Cette fonction définit les champs NULL à la valeur PHP
null.
pg_fetch_assoc() n'est pas significativement plus lente que pg_fetch_row() et elle apporte un confort d'utilisation appréciable.
resultUne instance PgSql\Result, retourné par pg_query(), pg_query_params(), ou pg_execute() (entre autres).
row
Numéro de la ligne à récupérer. Les lignes sont numérotées
en commençant à 0. Si l'argument est omis ou s'il vaut null,
la ligne suivante est récupérée.
Un tableau à indice associatif (par nom de champ). Chaque valeur dans le
tableau est représentée comme une chaîne de caractères. Les valeurs
null de la base de données sont retournées null.
false est retournée si row excède le nombre de
lignes dans le jeu de résultats, n'a plus de ligne disponible ou tout autre
erreur.

Exemple #1 Exemple avec pg_fetch_assoc()
<?php
$conn = pg_pconnect ("dbname=publisher");
if (!$conn) {
echo "Une erreur est survenue.\n";
exit;
}
$result = pg_query ($conn, "SELECT id, auteur, email FROM auteurs");
if (!$result) {
echo "Une erreur est survenue.\n";
exit;
}
while ($row = pg_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo $row['id'];
echo $row['auteur'];
echo $row['email'];
}
?>
Note that all pg_fetch_* function ignoring the original type of the data and always return strings. (for numbers too)Note:
PostgreSQL boolean values set to TRUE are returned as the string "t"
PostgreSQL boolean values set to FALSE are returned as the string "f"If you request a row that does not exist, it just fails, rather than simply returning false.If you are moving between different versions of PHP, this might be handy:
if (!function_exists('pg_fetch_assoc')) {
function pg_fetch_assoc ($result)
{
return @pg_fetch_array($result, NULL, PGSQL_ASSOC);
}
}Beware! If your query returns multiple columns with the same names, only the right-most one will be contained in the result array. This can cause problems if you are using a combination of joins:
For example:
<?php
// Let's say that 'pkey' is the primary-key colum for tables a and b (primary keys are never null)
$res = pg_query("Select a.pkey, b.* FROM a LEFT JOIN b using (pkey)");
$data = pg_fetch_assoc($res);
var_dump($data['pkey']) // Is actually b.pkey, may be NULL!
?>
Both tables contain a column named 'pkey'. Now table 'b' is on the optional side of a LEFT JOIN, so b.pkey (implicitly included via 'b.*') may be NULL.
The problem arises when you use pg_fetch_assoc(), there are two columns named 'pkey' but the result array can only contain one value per key -- in this case it will pick the one from table B instead of the one from table A, and since B is on the optional side of the left-join, $data['pkey'] may be NULL. So if you're expecting to retrieve the column from table A, you need to use a different pg_fetch() or rewrite your query to avoid ambiguity.Converts 't' and 'f' to PHP Boolean
$result = pg_query($_db, $sql);
while ( $row = pg_fetch_assoc( $result ) )
{
fixBooleans($result, $row);
//some other code
}
function fixBooleans($result, &$row)
{
for ($fld_i = 0; $fld_i < pg_num_fields($result); $fld_i++)
{
$fld_name = pg_field_name($result, $fld_i);
if( pg_field_type($result, $fld_i) == 'bool' )
{
if( $row[ $fld_name ] == 't' )
{
$row[ $fld_name ] = true;
}
elseif($row[ $fld_name ] == 'f')
{
$row[ $fld_name ] = false;
}
}
}

</html>Here is much powerful pg_parse_array() variant, based on FSM: for any dimension Postgres arrays (its string representation must be well-formed), with quotation rules checks, complexity O(N), where N is a length of string representation of Postgres array:
<?php
define('STATE_BEGIN', 1);
define('STATE_INARRAY',2);
define('STATE_OUTARRAY', 3);
define('STATE_INSLASH', 4);
define('STATE_INQUOTES', 5);
function pg_parse_array($value) {
$resultArray = $indexArray = array(); $level = $index = 0;
$ptr = &$resultArray;
for($i = 0; $i < strlen($value); $i++){
switch($level){
case 1:
if($index > 0){
$ptr = & $ptr[sizeof($ptr)];
}
$indexArray[++$index] = & $ptr;
break;
case -1:
$ptr = & $indexArray[--$index];
break;
}
$level = processFSM($value{$i}, $ptr);
}
return $resultArray;
}
function processFSM($chr, &$result){
static $state = STATE_BEGIN, $index = 0;
$level = 0;
switch(true){
case $chr == '{' && in_array($state, array(STATE_BEGIN,STATE_INARRAY,STATE_OUTARRAY), true):
$state = STATE_INARRAY;
$index = 0;
$level = +1;
break;
case $chr == '}' && in_array($state, array(STATE_INARRAY,STATE_OUTARRAY), true):
$state = STATE_OUTARRAY;
$level = -1;
break;
case $chr == '\\' && $state !== STATE_BEGIN:
$state = $state === STATE_INSLASH ? STATE_INQUOTES : STATE_INSLASH;
break;
case $chr == '"' && !in_array($state, array(STATE_BEGIN,STATE_INSLASH), true):
$state = $state === STATE_INQUOTES ? STATE_INARRAY : STATE_INQUOTES;
break;
case $chr == ',' && in_array($state, array(STATE_INARRAY,STATE_OUTARRAY), true):

isset($result[$index]) or $result[$index] = '';

return $level;

?>Be aware that if one of your result fields is an array, it will be output as a string using the general format of '{value1,value2, ... }' in accordance with postgres's behavior with SQL arrays.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/arrays.html#ARRAYS-IO
So, here is a function to convert simple (one-dimensional) SQL arrays to PHP arrays:
<?php
function pg_parse_array($field)
/*
* Converts a simple SQL array field to its PHP equivalent. e.g:
*
* {null} --> Array(null);
* {"null"} --> Array("null");
* {foo,bar} --> Array("foo", "bar");
* {"foo,bar"} --> Array("foo,bar");
* {"Hello \"World\""} --> Array('Hello "World"');
*
*/
{
// NULL fields are always NULL
if (!is_string($field)) return $field;
// Check for curly braces which may indicate an SQL array field
if ($field[0] != '{' or substr($field, -1) != '}') return $field;
$field = trim(substr($field, 1, -1));
$array = Array();
// Break up the string into the following:
// - quoted text that MAY have special chars escaped by a backslash
// - unquoted text that may NOT have special chars
$search = '/(")?+((?(1)(?:\\\\.|[^"])*|[^,]+))(?(1)\\1)/';
preg_match_all($search, $field, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);
foreach($matches as $value)
{
if ($value[1])
{
// Quoted element, with backslash used to escape chars
$array[] = preg_replace('#\\\\(.)#', '$1', $value[2]);
}
else
{
// Unquoted element
$value[2] = trim($value[2]);
if (strtolower($value[2]) == 'null') $array[] = null; // NULL
else $array[] = $value[2];
}
}
return $array;
}
// Some tests to demonstrate this function
var_export(pg_parse_array('{null}'); // Output is Array(null);
var_export(pg_parse_array('{foo,bar}'); // Output is Array('foo', 'bar');
var_export(pg_parse_array('{"null"}'); // Output is Array('null');
?>bytea columns are returned escaped.
you need to call pg-unescape-bytea() on them to get the original binary back.regarding the optional int parameter
requesting a row number that is not present in the result set is an error. don't do it.
check with pg_num_rows() beforehand, or just use the default behavior which returns the rows in order and false after returning the last row it returns false immediately if no rows were returned.Is worth to know that when you query on multiple tables only the first row with each name is returned.
That is, if you are joining to tables with a column called 'name' you will receive only one field called name in the array and it will correspond to the one on the first table.
Is advisable to allways allias your columns in that stuation.Here is another way to iterate a resultset and display all columns in very little code... might be faster than a foreach
<?php
print '<table>';
while($row=pg_fetch_assoc($rs2)) print '<tr><td>'.join('</td><td>',$row2).'</td></tr>';
print '</table>';
?>$dbconn3 = pg_connect("host=127.0.0.1 port=5432 dbname=blah user=blah password=blah");
$result = pg_query($dbconn3, "SELECT * FROM Packages");
echo "<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>PostgreSQL Test Page</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>";
echo "<TABLE>";
$pkg = pg_fetch_assoc($result);
foreach ($pkg as $value) {
echo "<TR><TD>$value";
echo "</TR></TD>";
}
echo "</TABLE><P>";
echo "This package's full filename is: {$pkg['name']}-{$pkg['version']}{$pkg['extension']}";
echo "</BODY></HTML>";
For generating tables, this works, and personally I prefer foreach() to while loops because there's no danger of accidentally causing an infinite loop...foreach only works for as long as it has something to work with, and then stops. I thought the echo down the bottom might come in handy, too...took me a bit to find that out.An important thing to note (as of PHP 4.3.2):
If you are used to using the "extended" comparision operators (=== and !==) to try to make your code easier to follow visually, this function will return NULL if the provided resource handle is invalid (as opposed to false). ie,
$rs = @pg_query('SELECT * FROM fake_table');
while (false !== ($row = @pg_fetch_assoc($rs)))
{
print_r($row);
}
Obviously you should check to see if $rs === false before you start the while loop, but this example is used to illustrate a potential infinite loop problem if $rs IS false.At a glance, the syntax listed at the top of this page doesn't match the example. The PGSQL_ASSOC flag isn't necessary.In a bit of follow-up to Luke's note about SQL booleans (this was a painful thing to learn the hard way), a relatively easy workaround is to typecase the boolean columns to integer inside the query, e.g:
<?php
// Assuming 'foo' is a table column of type boolean
$res = pg_query("Select foo as foo1, foo::integer as foo2 from bar");
$data = pg_fetch_assoc($res);
if ($data['foo1']) echo 'foo1 = TRUE'; // Doesn't work as expected (string 't' and string 'f' both evaluate as TRUE)
if ($data['foo2']) echo 'foo2 = TRUE'; // Works as expected (string '0' evaluates as FALSE)
?>
