pg_convert — Convert associative array values into suitable for SQL statement
$connection
, string $table_name
, array $assoc_array
[, int $options = 0
] )
pg_convert() checks and converts the values in
assoc_array into suitable values for use in an SQL
statement. Precondition for pg_convert() is the
existence of a table table_name which has at least
as many columns as assoc_array has elements. The
fieldnames in table_name must match the indices in
assoc_array and the corresponding datatypes must be
compatible. Returns an array with the converted values on success, FALSE
otherwise.
Note:
If there are boolean fields in
table_namedon't use the constantTRUEinassoc_array. It will be converted to the string 'TRUE' which is no valid entry for boolean fields in PostgreSQL. Use one of t, true, 1, y, yes instead.
This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, its name, and surrounding documentation may change without notice in a future release of PHP. This function should be used at your own risk.
