pg_cancel_query

Cancel an asynchronous query

Description

bool pg_cancel_query(PgSql\Connection $connection)

pg_cancel_query cancels an asynchronous query sent with pg_send_query, pg_send_query_params or pg_send_execute. You cannot cancel a query executed using pg_query.

Parameters

connection

An PgSql\Connection instance.

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure.

Changelog

Version Description
8.1.0 The connection parameter expects an PgSql\Connection instance now; previously, a resource was expected.

Examples

Example #1 pg_cancel_query example

<?php
  $dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect");

  if (!pg_connection_busy($dbconn)) {
      pg_send_query($dbconn, "select * from authors; select count(*) from authors;");
  }
  
  $res1 = pg_get_result($dbconn);
  echo "First call to pg_get_result(): $res1\n";
  $rows1 = pg_num_rows($res1);
  echo "$res1 has $rows1 records\n\n";
  
  // Cancel the currently running query.  Will be the second query if it is
  // still running.
  pg_cancel_query($dbconn);
?>

The above example will output:

First call to pg_get_result(): Resource id #3
Resource id #3 has 3 records
