Thread: ResultSetMetaData in PHP?

I am just use PHP.  I have two questions:

1. When I use OID, how can I get a current OID and lock it and use it
before I insert a record, as nextval(..) does, in PHP?

2. How can I use PHP to get the structure of a table, like
ResultSetMetaData in JAVA?

Thanks.

I am not sure that you can get this in advance, but you can get the oid
after an insert/update.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-last-oid.php
for PHP 4 >= 4.2.0

otherwise: pg_getlastoid()

See:
