[GENERAL] PHP and Postgres arrays
Hello, I've been searching (not very thoroughly, but still) for a way to get Postgres arrays right into PHP arrays, but it seems that the Postgres driver simply doesn't allow that. The only solution seems to use some user-defined functions[1] to split the result of a query (a string) into a PHP array. Some Perl-related readings [2] seem to say that Postgres actually provides a string, loosing the possibility to get it as an array, but these comments date back to 2005. Any chance someone around here might tell me more about this and possibly give me some better way to get those arrays than copy-pasting the user-proposed PHP functions?
