You have 2 more opening parentheses than close parentheses in that SQL
-- in both cases, the parenthesis immediately preceding currval should
be omitted.
Also, to ameliorate your quote hell, you might consider using a heredoc
(http://php.net/manual/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.s
yntax.heredoc) for this:
$pg_pres_ins6 = pg_query_params(<<<SQL
INSERT INTO "brdgMediaCallsEvents" ("mediumId", "eventId", rank)
VALUES (currval('"tblMedia_mediumId_seq"'),
currval('"tblCallsEvents_eventId_seq"'), $1)
SQL
, array($ev_rank));
Cheers!
