I guess you have more lines in your php script,
have you lines like these:

$result = pg_Exec ($database, $sqlStr);
if (!$result) {
echo "An error occured.\n";
exit;
}

for($i=0; $i<pg_NumRows($result); $i++)
{
$row = pg_Fetch_array($result, $i);
echo $row[1];
}

???

if not, please RTFM.
if you have written down these lines (or cut&pasted from the manual),
and still it doesn't work, feel free to contact me.
