    pg_fetch_all_columns — Fetches all rows in a particular result column as an array

    Description

    pg_fetch_all_columns(PgSql\Result $result, int $field = 0): array

    pg_fetch_all_columns() returns an array that contains all rows (records) in a particular column of the PgSql\Result instance.

    Note: This function sets NULL fields to the PHP null value.

    Parameters

    result

    An PgSql\Result instance, returned by pg_query(), pg_query_params() or pg_execute()(among others).

    field

    Column number. Defaults to the first column if not specified.

    Return Values

    An array with all values in the result column.

    Changelog

    Version Description
    8.1.0 The result parameter expects an PgSql\Result instance now; previously, a resource was expected.

    Unfortunate that pg_fetch_all_columns() doesn't support fetching a column by its name -- if you want to do that, you'll need to use pg_field_num() as an intermediary:

    For example:

    <?php

    if ($foo)
    $cols = "email_address";

    else
    $cols = "last_name, middle_init";

    $result = pg_query("Select first_name, $info, birthday from users_table");

    // Problem -- does column #2 refer to the 'birthday' or 'middle_init' field?
    $array = pg_fetch_all_columns($result, 2);

    // Won't work, must use a column number instead of its name
    $array = pg_fetch_all_columns($result, 'birthday');

    // Works
    $array = pg_fetch_all_columns($result, pg_field_num($result, 'birthday'));

    pg_fetch_all_columns() returns array (empty array) even if the result set in empty (while pg_fetch_all() returns FALSE when the result set is empty)

    <?
    $result = pg_query("
    SELECT 'something'
    WHERE 1 = 2
    ");
    var_dump( pg_fetch_all($result) ); // boolean false
    var_dump( pg_fetch_all_columns($result) ); // array(0){}
    ?>

    php 4 equivalent:

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

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

    // Get an array of all author names
    $arr = array();
    while (    $line = pg_fetch_array($result)) {
    array_push($arr, $line['name']);
    }

    var_dump($arr);

    ?>
