Description

Parameters

connection

An PgSql\Connection instance.

Return Values

The backend database process ID.

Changelog

Version Description
8.1.0 The connection parameter expects an PgSql\Connection instance now; previously, a resource was expected.

Examples

Example #1 PostgreSQL backend PID

<?php
$conn
= pg_pconnect("dbname=publisher");
if (!
$conn) {
echo
"An error occurred.\n";
exit;
}

// Backend process PID. Use PID with pg_get_notify()
$pid = pg_get_pid($conn);
?>
