pg_get_notify

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5, PHP 7)
Gets SQL NOTIFY message
array pg_get_notify ( resource $connection [, int $result_type ] )

pg_get_notify() gets notifications generated by a NOTIFY SQL command. To receive notifications, the LISTEN SQL command must be issued.

Parameters:
connection

PostgreSQL database connection resource.

result_type

An optional parameter that controls how the returned array is indexed. result_type is a constant and can take the following values: PGSQL_ASSOC, PGSQL_NUM and PGSQL_BOTH. Using PGSQL_NUM, pg_get_notify() will return an array with numerical indices, using PGSQL_ASSOC it will return only associative indices while PGSQL_BOTH, the default, will return both numerical and associative indices.

Returns:

An array containing the NOTIFY message name and backend PID. Otherwise if no NOTIFY is waiting, then FALSE is returned.

Examples:
PostgreSQL NOTIFY message
<?php 
$conn = pg_pconnect("dbname=publisher");
if (!$conn) {
  echo "An error occurred.\n";
  exit;
}

// Listen 'author_updated' message from other processes
pg_query($conn, 'LISTEN author_updated;');
$notify = pg_get_notify($conn);
if (!$notify) {
  echo "No messages\n";
} else {
  print_r($notify);
}
?>
