Thread: New PHP/PG Functions
Hi all, a lot of functions have been replaced in PHP with different ones, I think this happened in PHP 4.2.0 (example: pg_exec() is now pg_query() ... strange move). Can anybody tell me when the original functions will disappear from PHP all together and why this change happened? I want to avoid breakage of my applications, just because somebody starts using a new version of PHP. In my eyes, this makes no sense. An "insert" in no query, but now I have to put it into the query function ... hmmmm ... :) Best regards, Chris
Hi Chris, The changes in PHP are nothing to do with us - you'll need to ask the PHP developers.

Hi Chris, Check out the following link (kindly provided to me by Cornelia Boenigk who maintains the PostgreSQL documentation at php.net) http://www.zugeschaut-und-mitgebaut.de/php/ It should give you some information about the function tables and the "evolution" of functions in nice tables.
