Summary
In this chapter, we examined the ways that a PostgreSQL database can be accessed from the PHP scripting language. We covered the various aspects of database connections, query building and execution, result set manipulation, and error handling. We also introduced the PEAR database abstraction interface.
In the next chapter, we’ll explore how to access a PostgreSQL database from Perl.
