pg_insert -- Insert array into table

## Description

mixed pg_insert ( resource connection, string table_name, array assoc_array [, int options] )

pg_insert() inserts the values of assoc_array into the table specified by table_name. If options is specified, pg_convert() is applied to assoc_array with the specified options.

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this function at your own risk.

## Parameters

connection

  PostgreSQL database connection resource.

table_name

  Name of the table into which to insert rows. The table table_name must at least have as many columns as assoc_array has elements.

assoc_array

  An array whose keys are field names in the table table_name, and whose values are the values of those fields that are to be inserted.

options

  Any number of `PGSQL_CONV_OPTS`, `PGSQL_DML_NO_CONV`, `PGSQL_DML_EXEC`, `PGSQL_DML_ASYNC` or `PGSQL_DML_STRING` combined. If `PGSQL_DML_STRING` is part of the options then query string is returned.

## Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure. Returns string if `PGSQL_DML_STRING` is passed via options.

## Examples

Example 1. pg_insert() example

`<?php $dbconn = pg_connect('dbname=foo'); // This is safe, since $_POST is converted automatically $res = pg_insert($dbconn, 'post_log', $_POST); if ($res) { echo "POST data is successfully logged\n"; } else { echo "User must have sent wrong inputs\n"; } ?>`
