## Summary The pgsql extension documentation references PostgreSQL versions that have been outdated for years. The requirements page (`reference/pgsql/setup.xml`) states: https://www.php.net/manual/en/pgsql.requirements.php > To use PostgreSQL support, you need PostgreSQL 6.5 or later, > PostgreSQL 8.0 or later to enable all PostgreSQL module features. However, the actual minimum libpq versions enforced by php-src are: | PHP version | Minimum libpq | Commit | |---|---|---| | PHP 8.0+ | libpq 9.1 | php/php-src@ce668c0ec6 | | PHP 8.4+ | libpq 10.0 | php/php-src#14628 | The "PostgreSQL 6.5" requirement has been incorrect since at least PHP 8.0.0 (released 2020-11-26), which requires libpq 9.1 via `PQlibVersion` check in `ext/pgsql/config.m4`. As of PHP 8.4, the minimum was further raised to libpq 10.0 via `PQencryptPasswordConn` check in `build/php.m4`. ## Changes - **setup.xml**: Update requirements to match php-src, following the same pattern used by ext/curl and ext/openssl (per-PHP-version listing). - **14 function pages**: Remove notes referencing PostgreSQL versions 6.3–9.0 that are no longer relevant given the libpq 10.0 minimum. These include version-gated notes for `pg_prepare`, `pg_query_params`, `pg_execute`, `pg_escape_string`, `pg_escape_identifier`, `pg_escape_literal`, `pg_client_encoding`, `pg_unescape_bytea`, `pg_result_error_field`, `pg_parameter_status`, `pg_lo_create`, `pg_version`, `pg_affected_rows`, and the general `reference.xml`.

Not all functions are supported by all builds. It depends on your
|
|
libpq (The PostgreSQL C client library) version and how libpq is
|
|
compiled. If PHP PostgreSQL extensions are missing, then it is because
|
|
your libpq version does not support them.

Most PostgreSQL functions accept <parameter>connection</parameter> as
|
|
the optional first parameter. If it is not provided, the last opened
|
|
connection is used. If it doesn't exist, functions return &false;.

PostgreSQL automatically folds all identifiers (e.g. table/column names)
|
|
to lower-case values at object creation time and at query time.
|
|
To force the use of mixed or upper case identifiers, you must escape
|
|
the identifier using double quotes ("").

PostgreSQL does not have special commands for fetching database schema
|
|
information (eg. all the tables in the current database). Instead, there
|
|
is a standard schema named <literal>information_schema</literal> containing
|
|
system views with all the necessary information, in an easily
|
|
queryable form. See the <link xlink:href="&url.pgsql.manual;">PostgreSQL Documentation</link>
|
|
for full details.
