Thanks for getting back. Maybe I am doing something wrong, in which case I am sorry to waste your time, but I still think that this is a bug. I am aware that a return of -1 indicates a variable length field, but none of the fields is variable length and I just gave the field ccy_code (fixed length) as an example. None of the fields is variable length but they all return -1. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-22 01:52:39] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php PQfsize returns the size in bytes of the field associated with the given field index. If the size returned is -1, the field is a variable length field. The PQfsize() is the underlying function behind pg_field_size(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-21 12:23:43] tony at gigaday dot com Sorry, I got the actual and expect results in the wrong boxes in the bug report. :( The incorrect value of -1 is the actual returned value. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-04-21 12:17:37] tony at gigaday dot com Description: ------------ I am unable to get pg_field_size to return the correct storage size of a field; I have pg_field_num and pg_field_type working but not pg_field_size.
