Yes, I am aware of that, but pulling any item appears to be proving a
hurdle...

It appears that there is something fundamentally wrong.

Here's the full script:-

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>pg_test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<?

$connectid = pg_connect("194.164.53.200", "5432", "postgres");

$query = "SELECT townName FROM towns";

$result = pg_exec($connectid, $query);

while($row = pgsql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row["townName"];
}

?>

This is the response:-

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pgsql_fetch_array() in test.php
on line 17

Line 17 => while($row = pgsql_fetch_array($result))

c:\>php -v
4.0.4pl1

Since this appears to be a PHP problem rather than anything specific to
Postges, I guess I should pursuit it elsewhwere. Is there anything like
a PHP-Novices mailing list anywhere?
