Fetch a row as an array

Description

pg_fetch_array(PgSql\Result $result, int|null $row = null, int $mode = PGSQL_BOTH): array|false

pg_fetch_array() returns an array that corresponds to the fetched row (record).

pg_fetch_array() is an extended version of pg_fetch_row(). In addition to storing the data in the numeric indices (field number) to the result array, it can also store the data using associative indices (field name). It stores both indices by default.

Fetch-null

pg_fetch_array() is NOT significantly slower than using pg_fetch_row(), and is significantly easier to use.

Parameters

result: Result
row: Row number in result to fetch. Rows are numbered from 0 upwards. If omitted or null, the next row is fetched.
mode: Mode

Return Values

An array indexed numerically (beginning with 0) or associatively (indexed by field name), or both. Each value in the array is 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. Fetching from the result of a query other than SELECT will also return false.

pg_fetch_array() example

php

<?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;
}

$arr = pg_fetch_array($result, 0, PGSQL_NUM);
echo $arr[0] . " <- Row 1 Author\n";
echo $arr[1] . " <- Row 1 E-mail\n";

// The row parameter is optional; NULL can be passed instead,
// to pass a result_type.  Successive calls to pg_fetch_array
// will return the next row.
$arr = pg_fetch_array($result, NULL, PGSQL_ASSOC);
echo $arr["author"] . " <- Row 2 Author\n";
echo $arr["email"] . " <- Row 2 E-mail\n";

$arr = pg_fetch_array($result);
echo $arr["author"] . " <- Row 3 Author\n";
echo $arr[1] . " <- Row 3 E-mail\n";
