Andy,

Thanks for your help! The var_dump after the pg_execute showed that the
execute() method wasn't being called (I left a line out of the calling
script). Once I fixed that, I changed pg_execute back to pg_exec and it
worked as expected. Now I have to figure out the difference between
pg_exec and pg_execute... From what I can tell, pg_exec isn't supported
any more and I should be using pg_execute instead... Thanks again.

Giff
