pg_host

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

pg_host — Returns the host name associated with the connection

Description

function pg_host(?PgSql\Connection $connection = null): string

pg_host() returns the host name of the given PostgreSQL connection instance is connected to.

Parameters

connection

An PgSql\Connection instance. When connection is null, the default connection is used. The default connection is the last connection made by pg_connect() or pg_pconnect().

Warning

As of PHP 8.1.0, using the default connection is deprecated.

Return Values

A string containing the name of the host the connection is to, or an empty string on error.

8.1.0 The connection parameter expects an PgSql\Connection instance now; previously, a resource was expected.
8.0.0 connection is now nullable.

Examples

Example #1 pg_host() example

<?php
$pgsql_conn = pg_connect("dbname=mark host=localhost");

if ($pgsql_conn) {
   print "Successfully connected to: " . pg_host($pgsql_conn) . "<br/>\n";
} else {
   print pg_last_error($pgsql_conn);
   exit;
}
?>
