pg_select — Select records
$connection
, string $table_name
, array $assoc_array
[, int $options = PGSQL_DML_EXEC
[, int $result_type = PGSQL_ASSOC
]] ) : mixedpg_select() selects records specified by assoc_array which has field=>value. For a successful query, it returns an array containing all records and fields that match the condition specified by assoc_array.
If options is specified, pg_convert() is applied to assoc_array with the specified flags.
By default pg_select() passes raw values. Values must be escaped or PGSQL_DML_ESCAPE option must be specified. PGSQL_DML_ESCAPE quotes and escapes paramters/identifiers. Therefore, table/column names became case sensitive.
Note that neither escape nor prepared query can protect LIKE query, JSON, Array, Regex, etc. These parameters should be handled according to their contexts. i.e. Escape/validate values.
connectionPostgreSQL database connection resource.
table_nameName of the table from which to select rows.
assoc_array
An array whose keys are field names in the table table_name,
and whose values are the conditions that a row must meet to be retrieved.
options
Any number of PGSQL_CONV_FORCE_NULL,
PGSQL_DML_NO_CONV,
PGSQL_DML_ESCAPE,
PGSQL_DML_EXEC,
PGSQL_DML_ASYNC or
PGSQL_DML_STRING combined. If PGSQL_DML_STRING is part of the
options then query string is returned. When PGSQL_DML_NO_CONV
or PGSQL_DML_ESCAPE is set, it does not call pg_convert() internally.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. Returns string if PGSQL_DML_STRING is passed
via options.
Example #1 pg_select() example
<?php
$db = pg_connect('dbname=foo');
// This is safe somewhat, since all values are escaped.
// However PostgreSQL supports JSON/Array. These are not
// safe by nither escape nor prepared query.
$rec = pg_select($db, 'post_log', $_POST, PG_DML_ESCAPE);
if ($rec) {
echo "Records selected\n";
var_dump($rec);
} else {
echo "User must have sent wrong inputs\n";
}
?>
