Subject: [PHP] Retrieving a list of tables

Heyas,

I need to be able to get a list of the tables from a postgresql from
php. I'm
porting a php-mysql website over to postgresql. I have a form that
populates
a <SELECT> statment with the tables in the db.

In Mysql I just used the sql query "SHOW TABLES;" postgresql doesn't
support that sql statment, and pg-php doesn't like me sending a "\d" as
a
query.

Anyone have any help, or ideas how I may be able to work around this?
or is there a query for pg-sql that I don't know about?

Any and all help would be great... Thanx

Dave
