If I was you, I would have start my search here :
http://www.php.net/pgsqlThere's a big warning saying : " PostgreSQL function names will be changed in 4.2.0 release to confirm to current coding standards. Most of new names will have additional underscores, e.g. pg_lo_open(). Some functions are renamed to different name for consistency. e.g. pg_exec() to pg_query(). Older names can be used in 4.2.0 and a few releases from 4.2.0, but they may be deleted in the future. "
Erm, pg_errormessage is not mentionned here ! We need a bug report so, can you fill it ? http://bugs.php.net/

Funny you forgot what you've wrote ;) "would be nice to know if this alias will be removed eventually or not."
This make more sense for a rejection as it's clearly stated when you're posting a note :
"# If you are just commenting on the fact that something is not documented, save your breath. This is where you add to the documentation, not where you ask us to add the documentation. You may choose to email the PHP Documentation Team to discuss the change."
with a link to this mailing-list. I'm sure Vincent wanted you to make a bug report when he rejected your note. So, do you mind opening it ?
Thank you for your feedback.
