                                  pg_put_line

   (PHP 4 >= 4.0.3)
   pg_put_line -- Send a NULL-terminated string to PostgreSQL backend

Description

   bool pg_put_line ( [resource connection, string data])

   pg_put_line() sends a NULL-terminated string to the PostgreSQL backend
   server. This is useful for example for very high-speed inserting of
   data into a table, initiated by starting a PostgreSQL copy-operation.
   That final NULL-character is added automatically. Returns TRUE on
   success or FALSE on failure.

     Note: The application must explicitly send the two characters "\."
     on the last line to indicate to the backend that it has finished
     sending its data.

   Example 1. High-speed insertion of data into a table
   <?php
       $conn = pg_pconnect("dbname=foo");
       pg_query($conn, "create table bar (a int4, b char(16), d
   float8)");
       pg_query($conn, "copy bar from stdin");
       pg_put_line($conn, "3\thello world\t4.5\n");
       pg_put_line($conn, "4\tgoodbye world\t7.11\n");
       pg_put_line($conn, "\\.\n");
       pg_end_copy($conn);
   ?>
