pg_convert — Convert associative array values into forms suitable for SQL statements

### Descrierea

pg_convert ( resource `$connection` , string `$table_name` , array `$assoc_array` [, int `$options` = 0 ] ) : array

pg_convert() checks and converts the values in `assoc_array` into suitable values for use in an SQL statement. Precondition for pg_convert() is the existence of a table `table_name` which has at least as many columns as `assoc_array` has elements. The fieldnames in `table_name` must match the indices in `assoc_array` and the corresponding datatypes must be compatible. Returns an array with the converted values on success, `FALSE` otherwise.

> Notă:

> Since PHP 5.6.0, it accepts boolean values, converting them to PostgreSQL booleans. String representations of boolean values are also supported. `NULL` is converted to PostgreSQL NULL.

> Prior to PHP 5.6.0, if there are boolean fields in `table_name` don't use the constant `TRUE` in `assoc_array`. It will be converted to the string 'TRUE' which is not a valid entry for boolean fields in PostgreSQL. Use one of "t", "true", 1, "y", "yes" instead.

### Parametri

`connection`

  PostgreSQL database connection resource.

`table_name`

  Name of the table against which to convert types.

`assoc_array`

  Data to be converted.

`options`

  Any number of `PGSQL_CONV_IGNORE_DEFAULT`, `PGSQL_CONV_FORCE_NULL` or `PGSQL_CONV_IGNORE_NOT_NULL`, combined.

### Valorile întoarse

An array of converted values, or `FALSE` on error.
