pg_send_query

If you open a second connection with PGSQL_CONNECT_FORCE_NEW and send a second query to the second connection, it will still block on the first one.

pg_send_query would not stop your script from executing but it would stop the script from exiting. 

Example:

<?php
$con = pg_connect('dbname=payroll');
pg_send_query('SELECT process_payroll()'); // Where process_payroll is a super long process
?>

You would still need to wait for the query to finish before the any display would be sent to the browser. And surprisingly, unlike pg_query this script would not generate the Maximum execution time error.

Regarding the failure to process them all now, then retrieve the results later, I found that all queries would return successfully if I added a further condition to your while loop in the "stack_query()" method.

By adding:
&& (pg_transaction_status($conn) === PGSQL_TRANSACTION_IDLE ) )

Every query executed with no errors.

<?php
$conn = pg_connect("dbname=dbname host=localhost user=psql ");
if ($conn === FALSE)
  exit("Can't connect to db");

$q = array();
// send some queries
foreach (range(0, 50) as $i)
  stack_query($q, $conn, "SELECT 'query $i' AS str;");
// receive them
while (true)
  {
    $left = stack_query($q, $conn);
    echo "$left left... ";
    $result = pg_get_result($conn);
    if ($left == 0 && $result === FALSE)
      break;
    $row = pg_fetch_assoc($result);
    // depending on race conditions, you wont get all your original queries here.
    echo "got $row[str]\n";
  }

function stack_query(&$queries, $conn, $sql = FALSE)
{
  if ($sql !== FALSE)
    $queries[] = $sql;
  while (count($queries) && !pg_connection_busy($conn)  && (pg_transaction_status($conn) === PGSQL_TRANSACTION_IDLE ) )
    pg_send_query($conn, array_shift($queries));
  return count($queries) + (pg_connection_busy($conn) ? 1 : 0);
}
?>

Note that if you send a query without calling pg_get_result() for the previous one (supposing it has finished and the connection is not busy), the previous query will get discarded.

See for yourself (tested on php4.4.0, postgres8.0.4, Linux/FreeBSD) :
<?
$conn = pg_connect("dbname=template1 host=localhost user=pgsql");
if ($conn === FALSE)
  exit("Can't connect to db");

$q = array();
// send some queries
foreach (range(0, 500) as $i)
  stack_query($q, $conn, "SELECT 'query $i' AS str;");
// receive them
while (true)
  {
    $left = stack_query($q, $conn);
    echo "$left left... ";
    $result = pg_get_result($conn);
    if ($left == 0 && $result === FALSE)
      break;
    $row = pg_fetch_assoc($result);
    // depending on race conditions, you wont get all your original queries here.
    echo "got $row[str]\n";
  }

function stack_query(&$queries, $conn, $sql = FALSE)
{
  if ($sql !== FALSE)
    $queries[] = $sql;
  while (count($queries) && !pg_connection_busy($conn))
    pg_send_query($conn, array_shift($queries));
  return count($queries) + (pg_connection_busy($conn) ? 1 : 0);
}
?>

You will have to write a higher level of abstraction if you want a "send all queries now, receive them later" behaviour.

Due to a bug, OLD API does not available with PHP 4.2.0 and 4.2.1.
PHP 4.2.2 will support OLD API again and will be kept long enough.
New API will be available PHP 4.2.0 to later versions.

Due to a bug, PHP 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 does not support pg_lo_import() old API. It's fixed in PHP 4.2.2.
BTW, new API will be always available from PHP 4.2.0 to later versions. Older API will be kept long enough, also.

it works for me (php-4.2.1)
not like this
int pg_lo_import ( string pathname [, resource connection])
but
int pg_lo_import ( resource connection, string pathname )
don't know the reason

If there is an error in one of your queries, the queries following it will not get executed, and there will *not* be an error message displayed. The only way I can think of to determine if an SQL error happened is to use pg_trace.
Example:
pg_send_query($connection,
"SELECT id FROM users;
SELECT * FROM customers;
[INVALID-SQL-STATEMENT];
SELECT name FROM countries;");
while ($result = pg_get_result($connection))
$results[] = $result;
The $results array will only have two items in it.
