pg_delete — Deletes records

### Descrierea

pg_delete ( resource `$connection` , string `$table_name` , array `$assoc_array` [, int `$options` = PGSQL_DML_EXEC ] ) : mixed

pg_delete() deletes records from a table specified by the keys and values in `assoc_array`. If `options` is specified, pg_convert() is applied to `assoc_array` with the specified options.

If options is specified, pg_convert() is applied to assoc_array with the specified flags.

By default pg_delete() passes raw values. Values must be escaped or PGSQL_DML_ESCAPE option must be specified. PGSQL_DML_ESCAPE quotes and escapes paramters/identifiers. Therefore, table/column names became case sensitive.

Note that neither escape nor prepared query can protect LIKE query, JSON, Array, Regex, etc. These parameters should be handled according to their contexts. i.e. Escape/validate values.

### Parametri

`connection`

  PostgreSQL database connection resource.

`table_name`

  Name of the table from which to delete rows.

`assoc_array`

  An array whose keys are field names in the table `table_name`, and whose values are the values of those fields that are to be deleted.

`options`

  Any number of `PGSQL_CONV_FORCE_NULL`, `PGSQL_DML_NO_CONV`, `PGSQL_DML_ESCAPE`, `PGSQL_DML_EXEC`, `PGSQL_DML_ASYNC` or `PGSQL_DML_STRING` combined. If `PGSQL_DML_STRING` is part of the `options` then query string is returned. When `PGSQL_DML_NO_CONV` or `PGSQL_DML_ESCAPE` is set, it does not call pg_convert() internally.

### Valorile întoarse

Întoarce valoarea `TRUE` în cazul succesului sau `FALSE` în cazul eșecului. Returns string if `PGSQL_DML_STRING` is passed via `options`.

### Exemple

Example #1 pg_delete() example

`<?php
$db = pg_connect('dbname=foo');
// This is safe somewhat, since all values are escaped.
// However PostgreSQL supports JSON/Array. These are not
// safe by nither escape nor prepared query.
$res = pg_delete($db, 'post_log', $_POST);
if ($res) {
echo "POST data is deleted: $res\n";
} else {
echo "User must have sent wrong inputs\n";
}
?>`
