Hello,
Looks like it is best to forget about passing an array directly between php and postgresql and instead rely on some string.
thanks to all

You could do something like:
(where $source_array is your array to pass to the PGSQL function):
<?php
// start off the query string
$query = "select func_a_dummy(";
// for each element of the array add to the string
foreach ($source_array AS $func_parameter)
{
$query .= "\"" . $func_parameter . "\", ";
}
// we'll end up with a trailing ", " on the end of the string due to the
final parameter, so remove it
$query = substring($query, 0, strlen($query) - 2);
// and close of the query string
$query .= ");";
?>
Then send $query to the database. That will create you something like
(if $source_array contains "param1" and "param2"):
select func_a_dummy("param1", "param2");
Regards,
Andy.
