Description: This centralizes all the database connection info such as host, port, etc. It is class based and provides an abstraction layer above the php postgres api. Same class an be used to connect to multiple databases on different servers and on different ports.

It is a modification of xzilla’s original abstraction class with more functions, support for transactions, and error checking.

// Last Updated: August 14, 2001
//
// Description:
//  Abstracts both the php function calls and the server information to POSTGRES
//  databases.  Utilizes class variables to maintain connection information such
//  as number of rows, result id of last operation, etc.
//
// Sample Usage:
//  include("include/dblib.php");
//  $db = new phpDB();
//  $db->connect("foobar");
//  $db->exec("SELECT * from TREVIN");
//  while ($db->nextRow()) {
//          $rs = $db->fobject();
//          echo "$rs->description : $rs->color : $rs->price <br>n";
//  }
//
// Modification History:
// Modification History:
//  - v1.04b, 08/11/2001, Trevin Chow, [email protected]
//
//    Fixed following bugs:
//    * added in call to moveFirst() in exec() to ensure that on subsequent calls to exec
//      we are moving row pointer to beginning again. Previously, row pointer wasn't being
//      updated.
//
//  - v1.04a, 08/09/2001, Trevin Chow, [email protected]
//
//        Fixed following bugs introduced in v1.03:
//        * connect() function had problem with setting password. Instead of using $this->password, was using $this->userName again for some reason.
//
//  - v1.04, 07/29/2001, Trevin Chow, [email protected]
//
//      Added Following function(s):
//      * currRow() - return current row
//
//  - v1.03, 05/18/2001, Lee Pang, [email protected]
//
//    Added the following functions:
//    * moveNext() - same as nextRow(), better syntax for VB/ASP converts like myself.
//    * movePrevious() - like nextRow(), just in the opposite direction.
//    * recordCount() - same as numRows(), better syntax for VB/ASP converts
//    * columnCount() - same as numFields, better syntax
//    * querySafe() - removes "r" and "n" and replaces "'" with "'" in input query
//    * sqlSafe() - replaces "'" with "''"
//
//    Added more comprehensive error handling:
//    * internal error code $errorCode
//    * in connect()
//    * in errorMsg()
//
//    Modified following functions:
//    * connect() - generates connection string based on available data
//
//    Fixed the following bugs:
//    * Syntax error in numAffected() - if ($this->result = null) ... to if ($this->result == null) ...
