In fact you can extract the size of the varchar field, by simply sending the following query:
"select a.atttypmod,a.attrelid from pg_attribute as a, pg_class as c where c.relname='$table' AND a.attrelid=c.oid AND a.attname='$field'"

here is a simple function that does that:

function get_field_size($table, $field, $link) {
                
        $result = pg_query($link, "select a.atttypmod,a.attrelid from pg_attribute as a, pg_class as c where c.relname='$table' AND a.attrelid=c.oid AND a.attname='$field'");                 
        
        $data = pg_fetch_object($result);
        
        return ($data->atttypmod - 4);        
    
}

returned value is a size of a given field (also varchar)

The pg_fieldname function only returns the unqualified name from the select statement. example:



select c.name, con.name from customer c, contacts con where con.customer_id = c.id;



pg_fieldname will return "name" for both fields instead of c.name and con.name.



This is a PostgreSQL limitation, not a PHP limitation.



if you need different field names you should use :



select c.name as customer_name, con.name as contact_name from customer c, contacts con where con.customer_id = c.id;



then pg_fieldname will return "customer_name" and "contact_name"
