pg_parameter_status
Looks up a current parameter setting of the server
Description
string pg_parameter_status(PgSql\Connection $connection = ?, string $param_name)
Certain parameter values are reported by the server automatically at
connection startup or whenever their values change. pg_parameter_status can be
used to interrogate these settings. It returns the current value of a
parameter if known, or false if the parameter is not known.
Parameters reported by the server include server_version,
server_encoding, client_encoding,
is_superuser, session_authorization,
DateStyle, TimeZone, and integer_datetimes.
Note that
server_version, server_encoding and integer_datetimes
cannot change after PostgreSQL startup.
Parameters

or pg_pconnect.
WarningAs of PHP 8.1.0, using the default connection is deprecated.
-
param_name
-
Possible param_name values include server_version,
server_encoding, client_encoding,
is_superuser, session_authorization,
DateStyle, TimeZone, and
integer_datetimes. Note that this value is case-sensitive.
