Good time of the day!

Perhaps this list is not an exact place to ask, but I haven't found an
answer in the PHP-specific lists and boards... So I'll give a try...

It's easy to work with Postgres from PHP scripts. You can access all
you need - tuples, fields, etc. BUT I was unable to find a way to get
a PostgreSQL reply on queries like "BEGIN" or (more important)
"COMMIT".

E.g. when I execute a query like
$tmp = pg_Exec($connection, "SELECT * ...")
I can get a number of returned tuples with pg_numrows($tmp), etc.
But when I execute
$tmp = pg_Exec($connection, "BEGIN")
I was unable to get anything out of $tmp. And I'm pretty sure
that PostgreSQL's reply "BEGIN" should be somwhere there...

There are a number of such queries and it would be useful to be able
to read output in order to know if things are going good or bad... Any
ideas?
