discription: small function which takes some simple parameters and
returns a query much in the form a CFQUERY would in cfml.  Used to help
aide CF developers move towards PHP.   Currently only designed for postgres but would be nice to convert to multiplatform.

*example use:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$fields=@cfoutput("select * from products order by title","server.name","dbname","dbusernam","dbpassword");
if(array_values($fields) == 0 )
	{
	for($i=0;$i<count($fields);$i++)
		{
		echo $fields["fieldname"][$i] . "<br>";
		}
	} 
else
	{
	echo "no records";
    }

// lets get the details for looping
$sql_result=pg_exec($connection,$SQL) or die("query has errors in it");
