PHP and PostgreSQL - Surfing The Web
(Page 9 of 9 )
And that's about all for the moment. In this article, you learned how to use PHP to communicate with that other open-source RDBMS, PostgreSQL, applying PHP's built-in functions to extract and insert data into a PostgreSQL table. In addition to learning a number of different techniques to extract data, you also got a quick tour of how to use transactions with PostgreSQL, and of the error-handling functions available to help you debug your PHP/PostgreSQL scripts.
Needless to say, there's a lot more you can do with PostgreSQL - this article merely covered the basics. If you're interested in learning more about PostgreSQL features, and in the PHP functions that can be used to avail of those features, take a look at the links below.
