postgres timestame php

Hello All-

I need to extract a result from a postgres database and PHP.
I need to get everything greater than today's date.
I'm comparing it against a timestamp field that can have something like
'2006-12-30 05:47:35.089-05' or NULL.
Basically:
SELECT * from table_name
WHERE timestamp_field is >= today

I want the NULL values in the result set as well...

Thanks in advance

Euhm, not sure about postgres, in MySQL this works:
WHERE timestamp_field >= NOW() OR timestamp_field IS NULL

Thank you for your response. Stupid me, its "IS" NULL I was doing =
NULL.
