Does php/postgres support placeholder's in queries and updates. Something
that looks like "select * from x where key=?" ? I notice that the call
interface doesn't support all of the documented calls, for example pg_query
and pg_send_query, but not pg_query_params (according to pgsql.c, the
postgres php -> postgres interface program).

I see docs for pg_prepare and pg_execute and execute, but it may only
be in the CVS version. I seem to recall a recent mention on the list
that a more complete interface is coming with PHP 5.1.

It has special functions for it in 5.1 CVS, but not in release.
However, you can just do it yourself using the PREPARE and EXECUTE
statements:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/sql-prepare.h tml
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/sql-execute.h tml

I think you meant parameters by "placeholders". For example:

INSERT INTO tbl (f1, f2, f3...) VALUES ($1, $2, $3, ...);
SELECT count(oid) FROM tbl WHERE field =3D $1;

AFAIC, PHP PostgreSQL API doesn't support any X_params() functions.
(Seems like stucked in escapeThatBuggyString() functions.)

Some of the functions I found that don't exist in both latest release
and CVS tree:

pg_prepare()
pg_query_params()
pg_field_type_oid()
pg_send_prepare()
pg_send_query_params()

(CVS checkout for ext/pgsql/pgsql.c:
http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php-src/ext/pgsql/pgsql.c?r=3D1.24 4.2.38)

Also, async query functions' interface is new as well. (Committed @
