pg_get_result — Get asynchronous query result
$connection
] )pg_get_result() gets the result resource from an asynchronous query executed by pg_send_query(), pg_send_query_params() or pg_send_execute().
pg_send_query() and the other asynchronous query functions can send multiple queries to a PostgreSQL server and pg_get_result() is used to get each query's results, one by one.
connectionPostgreSQL database connection resource.
The result resource, or FALSE if no more results are available.
Example #1 pg_get_result() example
<?php
$dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect");
if (!pg_connection_busy($dbconn)) {
pg_send_query($dbconn, "select * from authors; select count(*) from authors;");
}
$res1 = pg_get_result($dbconn);
echo "First call to pg_get_result(): $res1\n";
$rows1 = pg_num_rows($res1);
echo "$res1 has $rows1 records\n\n";
$res2 = pg_get_result($dbconn);
echo "Second call to pg_get_result(): $res2\n";
$rows2 = pg_num_rows($res2);
echo "$res2 has $rows2 records\n";
?>
The above example will output:
First call to pg_get_result(): Resource id #3 Resource id #3 has 3 records Second call to pg_get_result(): Resource id #4 Resource id #4 has 1 records
There is no way to poll/wait for a notification to come in. You either have to enter a busy loop or sleep. Both options are horrible. It would be nice for PHP to provide access to PQsocket so one could select() on the socket connection. This is how it's done from C or Perl.
It might seem that after calling pg_get_result() upon sending just a single query, the connection will not be busy. The correct way is, though, to call extra pg_get_result() in a loop until it returns false [1].
<?php
$conn = pg_connect('...', PGSQL_CONNECT_FORCE_NEW);
for ($i = 0; $i < 10000; $i++) {
$query = 'erroneous query';
if (pg_connection_busy($conn)) {
fprintf(STDERR, "Connection is busy\n");
exit(1);
}
pg_send_query($conn, $query);
$res = pg_get_result($conn);
if ($res === false) {
fprintf(STDERR, "A result was expected\n");
exit(1);
}
/* The following does not seem necessary for good queries, but is vital for erroneous queries.
Commenting the loop out leads to this script fail with the "Connection is busy" error. */
while (pg_get_result($conn));
// result processing...
}
?>

[1] Or, even better, use an asynchronous connection since PHP 5.6.
To have a a simple wait output with async queries you can use the pg_connection_busy command:
<?php
$dbh = pg_connect("host=XXX user=XXX password=XXX dbname=XXX");
if (!$dbh)
{
print "Failed to connect";
exit;
}
$query = "SELECT pg_sleep(10)";
if (!pg_connection_busy($dbh))
{
$sent = pg_send_query($dbh, $query);
print "Sent query, waiting: ";
while (pg_connection_busy($dbh)
{
print ".";
flush();
}
$res = pg_get_result($dbh);
print "<br>"; // or \n
print "Result is: $res";
}
pg_close($dbh);
?>

Yes, there is. If there is a query in progress, pg_get_result() will block and return the result of that query when it's complete.
