Digg pg_field_type
Returns the type name for the corresponding field number
(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)
pg_field_type() returns a string containing the base type name of the given field_number in the given PostgreSQL result resource.
Note:
If the field uses a PostgreSQL domain (rather than a basic type), it is the name of the domain's underlying type that is returned, rather than the name of the domain itself.
Note:
This function used to be called pg_fieldtype(). Parameters
ExamplesExample 1933. Getting information about fields<?phpThe above example will output: Title field type: varcharCode Examples / Notes » pg_field_typeandy
The types returned are: bool int2 (smallint) int4 int8 (bigint) numeric float4 (real / float) float8 (double) timestamp date time varchar bpchar (fixed leng string, 'blank padded char') inet (ip address) money There are some other more esoteric types, e.g. 'circle', but these are the most common. marxarelli
Because complete documentation is always helpful, here are all the PostgreSQL general purpose types as they are listed in the 8.1 documentation, and each corresponding string returned by pg_field_type(). bigint => int8 bigserial => int8 bit => bit bit varying => varbit boolean => bool box => box bytea => bytea character varying => varchar character => bpchar cidr => cidr circle => circle date => date double precision => float8 inet => inet integer => int4 interval => interval line => line lseg => lseg macaddr => macaddr money => money numeric => numeric path => path point => point polygon => polygon real => float4 smallint => int2 serial => int4 text => text time => time time with time zone => timetz timestamp => timestamp timestamp with time zone => timestamptz And for the record...
