Note that if you send a query without calling pg_get_result() for the previous one (supposing it has finished and the connection is not busy), the previous query will get discarded.
See for yourself (tested on php4.4.0, postgres8.0.4, Linux/FreeBSD) :
<?
$conn = pg_connect("dbname=template1 host=localhost user=pgsql");
if ($conn === FALSE)
exit("Can't connect to db");
$q = array();
// send some queries
foreach (range(0, 500) as $i)
stack_query($q, $conn, "SELECT 'query $i' AS str;");
// receive them
while (true)
{
$left = stack_query($q, $conn);
echo "$left left... ";
$result = pg_get_result($conn);
if ($left == 0 && $result === FALSE)
break;
$row = pg_fetch_assoc($result);
// depending on race conditions, you wont get all your original queries here.
echo "got $row[str]\n";
}
function stack_query(&$queries, $conn, $sql = FALSE)
{
if ($sql !== FALSE)
$queries[] = $sql;
while (count($queries) && !pg_connection_busy($conn))
pg_send_query($conn, array_shift($queries));
return count($queries) + (pg_connection_busy($conn) ? 1 : 0);
}
?>
You will have to write a higher level of abstraction if you want a "send all queries now, receive them later" behaviour.
