New PHP/PG Functions

Hi all,

a lot of functions have been replaced in PHP with different ones, I think t=
his=20
happened in PHP 4.2.0 (example: pg_exec() is now pg_query() ... strange=20
move).

Can anybody tell me when the original functions will disappear from PHP all=
=20
together and why this change happened? I want to avoid breakage of my=20
applications, just because somebody starts using a new version of PHP.

In my eyes, this makes no sense. An "insert" in no query, but now I have to=
=20
put it into the query function ... hmmmm ... :)

Best regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,

The changes in PHP are nothing to do with us - you'll need to ask the PHP
developers.

Re: New PHP/PG Functions

Hi Chris,

Check out the following link (kindly provided to me by Cornelia Boenigk who=
=20
maintains the PostgreSQL documentation at php.net)

http://www.zugeschaut-und-mitgebaut.de/php/

It should give you some information about the function tables and the=20
"evolution" of functions in nice tables.

Cheers,

the functions were changed so they would be the same basic layout as the
functions for other databases.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)
