Problem solved. There is a command no longer listed among
the php documentation (since it has been updated for the
newest releases) called pg_cmdtuples which does I guess the
same thing as pg_affected_rows. That does just what I need
in 4.1. Maybe I should find a 4.1 version of the
documentation (or update to PHP 4.2/3)
thanks for everyone's help in looking into this.
