Get started with php and PGSQL...

From

I'm following along with a PHP4 book (PHP4 Bible IDG Books) all database
examples are using mySQL. Where can I find the definitions for the
corresponding PG calls i.e. mysql_connect --> pg_connect and so on.

Check out the php manual, http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pgsql.php or my
site (shameless plug) http://designmagick.50megs.com/ (small tutorial for
using php & postgresql).

Hope that'll get you started! :)

You're serious?  The PHP 3 book has an appendix for all the php functions
separated by category of what they are for.  They don't have that in the new
book?  Anyone have a clue why not?

Well, atleast there is ol' reliable php.net.

Just go there, go to quick ref and type in postgresql.  The first link
returned has a list of all the postgresql functions at the bottom of the
page.
