Description

mixed pg_delete ( resource connection, string table_name, array assoc_array [, int options] )

Parameters

connection

PostgreSQL database connection resource.

Name of the table from which to delete rows.

assoc_array

An array whose keys are field names in the table table_name, and whose values are the values of those fields that are to be deleted.

Examples

Example 1. pg_delete() example

<?php
  $db = pg_connect('dbname=foo');
  // This is safe, since $_POST is converted automatically
  $res = pg_delete($db, 'post_log', $_POST);
  if ($res) {
      echo "POST data is deleted: $res\n";
  } else {
      echo "User must have sent wrong inputs\n";
  }
?>
