pg_fetch_object

Description

pg_fetch_object() returns an object with properties that correspond to the fetched row. It returns FALSE if there are no more rows or error.

pg_fetch_object() is similar to pg_fetch_array(), with one difference - an object is returned, instead of an array. Indirectly, that means that you can only access the data by the field names, and not by their offsets (numbers are illegal property names).

row is row (record) number to be retrieved. First row is 0.

Speed-wise, the function is identical to pg_fetch_array(), and almost as quick as pg_fetch_row() (the difference is insignificant).

Example 1. pg_fetch_object() example <?php $database = "store"; $db_conn = pg_connect("host=localhost port=5432 dbname=$database"); if (!$db_conn) { echo "Failed connecting to postgres database $database\n"; exit; } $qu = pg_query($db_conn, "SELECT * FROM books ORDER BY author"); $row = 0; // postgres needs a row counter while ($data = pg_fetch_object($qu, $row)) { echo $data->author . " ("; echo $data->year . "): "; echo $data->title . "<br />"; $row++; } pg_free_result ($qu); pg_close ($db_conn); ?>
