In fact you can extract the size of the varchar field, by simply sending the following query:

"select a.atttypmod,a.attrelid from pg_attribute as a, pg_class as c where c.relname='$table' AND a.attrelid=c.oid AND a.attname='$field'"



here is a simple function that does that:



function get_field_size($table, $field, $link) {

                

        $result = pg_query($link, "select a.atttypmod,a.attrelid from pg_attribute as a, pg_class as c where c.relname='$table' AND a.attrelid=c.oid AND a.attname='$field'");                 

        

        $data = pg_fetch_object($result);

        

        return ($data->atttypmod - 4);        

    

}



returned value is a size of a given field (also varchar)

The pg_fieldname function only returns the unqualified name from the select statement. example:





select c.name, con.name from customer c, contacts con where con.customer_id = c.id;





pg_fieldname will return "name" for both fields instead of c.name and con.name.





This is a PostgreSQL limitation, not a PHP limitation.





if you need different field names you should use :





select c.name as customer_name, con.name as contact_name from customer c, contacts con where con.customer_id = c.id;





then pg_fieldname will return "customer_name" and "contact_name"
