    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.

    The PHP manual page for PostgreSQL functions, at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pgsql.php

    The PostgreSQL documentation, at http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/

    O'Reilly's article on PHP and PostgreSQL, at http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2002/01/24/postgresql.html


    And until next time....stay healthy!
