# pg_insert

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)

pg_insert — Insert array into table

### Description

mixed pg_insert ( resource `$connection` , string `$table_name` , array `$assoc_array` [, int `$options` = PGSQL_DML_EXEC ] )

pg_insert() inserts the values of `assoc_array` into the table specified by `table_name`. If `options` is specified, pg_convert() is applied to `assoc_array` with the specified options.

Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, its name, and surrounding documentation may change without notice in a future release of PHP. This function should be used at your own risk.

### Parameters

`connection`

  PostgreSQL database connection resource.

`table_name`

  Name of the table into which to insert rows. The table `table_name` must at least have as many columns as `assoc_array` has elements.

`assoc_array`

  An array whose keys are field names in the table `table_name`, and whose values are the values of those fields that are to be inserted.

`options`

  Any number of `PGSQL_CONV_OPTS`, `PGSQL_DML_NO_CONV`, `PGSQL_DML_EXEC`, `PGSQL_DML_ASYNC` or `PGSQL_DML_STRING` combined. If `PGSQL_DML_STRING` is part of the `options` then query string is returned.

### Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure. Returns string if `PGSQL_DML_STRING` is passed via `options`.

### Examples

Example #1 pg_insert() example

`<?php
$dbconn = pg_connect('dbname=foo');
// This is safe, since $_POST is converted automatically
$res = pg_insert($dbconn, 'post_log', $_POST);
if ($res) {
echo "POST data is successfully logged\n";
} else {
echo "User must have sent wrong inputs\n";
}
?>`

### Changelog

Version | Description
--- | ---
5.5.3/5.4.19 | Direct SQL injection to `table_name` and Indirect SQL injection to identifiers are fixed.
