# pg_fetch_assoc

(no version information, might be only in CVS)

pg_fetch_assoc -- Fetch a row as an array

## Description

array pg_fetch_assoc ( resource result [, int row])

pg_fetch_assoc() returns an associative array that corresponds to the fetched row (tuples/records). It returns `FALSE`, if there are no more rows.

pg_fetch_assoc() is an extended version of pg_fetch_row(). In addition to storing the data in the numeric indices (field index) to the result array, it also stores the data in associative indices (field name) by default.

`row` is row (record) number to be retrieved. First row is 0.

pg_fetch_assoc() is NOT significantly slower than using pg_fetch_row(), while it provides a significant ease of use.

See also pg_fetch_row(), pg_fetch_array(), pg_fetch_object() and pg_fetch_result().

Example 1. PostgreSQL fetch array

    <?php
    $conn = pg_pconnect ("dbname=publisher");
    if (!$conn) {
        echo "An error occured.\n";
        exit;
    }

    $result = pg_query ($conn, "SELECT * FROM authors");
    if (!$result) {
        echo "An error occured.\n";
        exit;
    }

    $arr = pg_fetch_assoc ($result, 1, PGSQL_ASSOC);
    echo $arr["author"] . " <- array\n";
    ?>
