pg_fetch_row is faster than pg_fetch_assoc when doing a query with * as the select parameter. Otherwise, with declared columns, the two are similar in speed.
pg_fetch_row
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
pg_fetch_row — Get a row as an enumerated array
Description
$result
[, int $row
] )
pg_fetch_row() fetches one row of data from
the result associated with the specified
result resource.
Note: This function sets NULL fields to the PHP
NULLvalue.
Parameters
-
result -
PostgreSQL query result resource, returned by pg_query(), pg_query_params() or pg_execute() (among others).
-
row -
Row number in result to fetch. Rows are numbered from 0 upwards. If omitted or
NULL, the next row is fetched.
Return Values
An array, indexed from 0 upwards, with each value
represented as a string. Database NULL
values are returned as NULL.
FALSE is returned if row exceeds the number
of rows in the set, there are no more rows, or on any other error.

Examples
Example #1 pg_fetch_row() example
<?php
$conn = pg_pconnect("dbname=publisher");
if (!$conn) {
echo "An error occurred.\n";
exit;
}
$result = pg_query($conn, "SELECT author, email FROM authors");
if (!$result) {
echo "An error occurred.\n";
exit;
}
while ($row = pg_fetch_row($result)) {
echo "Author: $row[0] E-mail: $row[1]";
echo "<br />\n";
}
?>

Note, that when you retrieve some PG boolean value, you get 't' or 'f' characters which are not compatible with PHP bool.
I wondered whether array values of PostgreSQL are converted to PHP arrays by this functions. This is not the case, they are stored in the returned array as a string in the form "{value1 delimiter value2 delimiter value3}" (See http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/arrays.html#AEN5389).
Get downlines, put them into arrays.
function get_downlines($my_code){
global $link;
$sql = "select user_id, name from tb_user where parentcode = $my_code";
$res = pg_query($link,$sql);
if(!$res){
echo "Error: ".$sql;exit();
}
$num_fields = pg_num_fields($res);
$info_rows = 0;
$num_rows = pg_num_rows($res);
while($arr = pg_fetch_row($res)){
$info_offset = 1;
$info_columns = 0;
while ($info_offset <= $num_fields) {
$info_elements[$info_rows][$info_columns] = $arr[$info_columns];
$info_offset++; $info_columns++;
}
$info_rows++;
}
return $info_elements;
}
Note that the internal row counter is incremented BEFORE the row is retrieved. This causes an off by one error if you try to do:
pg_result_seek($resid,0);
pg_fetch_row($resid);
you will get back the SECOND result not the FIRST.
I use the following code to assigning query result to an array.
while ($row = pg_fetch_row($result)) $newArray[] = $row[0];
print_r($newArray);
a way to do this with 2 loops to insert data into a table...
$num = pg_numrows($result);
$col_num = pg_numfields($result);
for ($i=0; $i<$num; $i++) {
$line = pg_fetch_array($result, $i, PGSQL_ASSOC);
print "\t<tr bgcolor=#dddddd>\n";
for ($j=0; $j<$col_num; $j++){
list($col_name, $col_value) =each($line);
print "\t\t<TD ALIGN=RIGHT><FONT SIZE=1 FACE='Geneva'>$col_value</FONT></TD>\n";
}
echo "<br>";
}
