You need to fetch the results. See the pg_fetch_* family of functions for the one of your liking.
$myarray = pg_fetch_all($results);
print_r($myarray);

Subject: [PHP] display query results
I am trying to learn postgresql with psql - using FreeBS D7.0,
postgresql 8.3.3 php 5.2.6, apache 2.2.9
How can I echo or print on screen the results; all I get from this code
is this:
Resource id #3
item_idglossary_idnamedescription
which is the field names run together
I am expecting to see several long text sentences.
Here is the snippet and the connection does work and the database is
there and functioning.
$db = pg_connect("host=localhost port=5432 dbname=med user=med
password=0tscc71");
if (!$db)
{
die("Could not open connection to database server");
}
// generate and execute a query
$query = "SELECT description FROM glossary_item WHERE
name='Alcohol'";
$result = pg_query($db, $query) or die("Error in query: $query.
" . pg_last_error($db));
// Print result on screen
echo "$result";
pg_close($db);
What am I doing wrong?
