I just did it and it worked fine:

        $query = "select version()";

        $res = pg_exec($conn,$query);
        if(!$res) {
                die("not found");
        }

        if(($x = pg_numrows($res)) < 1) {
                echo("not found in database\n");
                exit;
        }

        $row = pg_fetch_row($res,$ii);
        echo("version: $row[0]");


and it gives:

version: PostgreSQL 7.1.2 on i386-unknown-freebsd4.2, compiled by GCC 2.95.2

Maybe it's really old?
