Note that when using PGSQL_BOTH, numerically and associatively indexed fields are separate variables and treated as such:

<?php
$res = pg_query("Select 'foo' as bar");

$data = pg_fetch_array($res, 0, PGSQL_BOTH);

var_dump($data);
// Array(2)
// {
//   [0] => string(3) "foo"
//   ["bar"] => string(3) "foo"
// }

// This won't affect $data['bar']
$data[0] = 'bar';

var_dump($data);
// Array(2)
// {
//   [0] => string(3) "bar"
//   ["bar"] => string(3) "foo"
// }
?>

If you want to have reference binding between your numeric and associative indexes, you'll have to establish that yourself:

<?php

$result = pg_query("Select 'foo' as bar");

$data = pg_fetch_row($result);

// Establish references between column name/number
$from = $data;
foreach($from as $cx => $value)
{
    $key = pg_field_name($result, $cx);
    if (is_string($key)) $data[$key] =& $data[$cx];
}

var_dump($data);
// Array(2)
// {
//   [0] => &string(3) "foo"
//   ["bar"] => &string(3) "foo"
// }
// Note the reference binding between $data[0] and $data['bar']

$data[0] = 'baz';

var_dump($data);
// Array(2)
// {
//   [0] => &string(3) "baz"
//   ["bar"] => &string(3) "baz"
// }

?>
