How can I use php to connect to a postgresql table 1

[gglgokop1704]

Dear All,

Please how can I use PHP to connect to a postgresql database/table and insert/delete data or retrieve data.Is it better to use ASP? Can ASP work in Linux environment?

Any help is appreciated.

(I do not know ASP to be usable under linux, but I am not quite aware of the mono project)

<?php

$dbconn = pg_connect("host=IP ADDRESS dbname=DBNAME user=USERNAME password=PASSWORD")
or die('Could not connect: ' . pg_last_error());

$query = "SELECT field1 from table";

$result = pg_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . pg_last_error());
$num=pg_num_rows($result);
$i = 0;
while ($i <$num) {
while ($line = pg_fetch_array($result)) {
$field1 = $line['field1'];
$i = $i + 1;
}
}

?>

prettymuch

Dear All,

Thanks MercJones, I have used the code you sent to customise it according to my details but Please how can I run the PHP program to connect to a PostgreSQL database and select contents of a table and print it on the browser. I could not run the program. I don't know how to run it or perhaps how to activate the php. I have done some configurations on httpd.conf and php.ini files after installing php. See the program below:

<?php
// Connecting, selecting database
$dbconn = pg_connect("host=138.250.104.227 dbname=rftDatabase user=globus password=globususer");


// Performing SQL query
$query = 'SELECT * FROM Criteria_Parameters';
$result = pg_query($query);

// Printing results in HTML
echo "<table>\n";
while ($line = pg_fetch_array($result, null, PGSQL_ASSOC)) {
echo "\t<tr>\n";
foreach ($line as $col_value) {
echo "\t\t<td>$col_value</td>\n";
}
echo "\t</tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n";

// Free resultset
pg_free_result($result);

// Closing connection
pg_close($dbconn);
?>

Is it possible to put the code int a function and then execute the function on a click of a button?

Any help is appreciated
