Using PostgreSQL with PHP / Scope an Lifetime of $result - Mailing list pgsql-novice

>>    $conn=pg_connect ($conn_string);
 
>>    $query=pg_exec ($conn, $sql_statement);     // it's pg_query for PHP >4.2.0

>>    pg_close ($conn);

My question:

What's the scope and lifetime of the $query Resource ?  Can I still use it after calling pg_close ? or do i have to copy all my rows, fields and stuff before calling pg_close.

Suppose I'd use the mentioned Code in a function wich will return $query as a result. Will the return value of the function still be valid and usable ?

Thanks for your help !
