pg_field_type_oid() returns an integer containing the OID of the base type of the given field_number
in the given PostgreSQL result
resource.
You can get more information about the field type by querying PostgreSQL's pg_type system table using the OID obtained with this function. The PostgreSQL format_type() function will convert a type OID into an SQL standard type name.
Note:
If the field uses a PostgreSQL domain (rather than a basic type), it is the OID of the domain's underlying type that is returned, rather than the OID of the domain itself.
PostgreSQL query result resource, returned by pg_query(), pg_query_params() or pg_execute() (among others).
Field number, starting from 0.
The OID of the field's base type. FALSE
is returned on error.
<?php $dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect"); // Assume 'title' is a varchar type $res = pg_query($dbconn, "select title from authors where author = 'Orwell'"); echo "Title field type OID: ", pg_field_type_oid($res, 0); ?>
The above example will output:
Title field type OID: 1043
