As mentioned, if you are performing an INSERT/UPDATE or DELETE query and want to know the # of rows affected, you should use pg_affected_rows() instead of pg_num_rows().
However, you can also exploit postgres's RETURNING clause in your query to auto-select columns from the affected rows. This has the advantage of being able to tell not only how many rows a query affects, but exactly which rows those were, especially if you return a primary-key column.
For example:
<?php
// Example query. Let's say that this updates five rows in the source table.
$res = pg_query("Update foo set bar = 'new data' where foo.bar = 'old data' ");
pg_num_rows($res); // 0
pg_affected_rows($res); // 5
pg_fetch_all($res); // FALSE
// Same query, with a RETURNING clause.
$res = pg_query("Update foo set bar = 'new data' where foo.bar = 'old data' RETURNING foo.pkey");
pg_num_rows($res); // 5
pg_affected_rows($res); // 5
pg_fetch_all($res); // Multidimensional array corresponding to our affected rows & returned columns
?>
pg_num_rows
(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
pg_num_rows — 行数を返す
パラメータ
-
result -
pg_query()、pg_query_params() や (様々な関数がありますが、特に) pg_execute() が返した PgSql\Result クラスのインスタンス。
戻り値
結果の行数を返します。エラー時には -1 を返します。
変更履歴
| バージョン | 説明 |
|---|---|
| 8.1.0 |
result は、PgSql\Result
クラスのインスタンスを期待するようになりました。
これより前のバージョンでは、リソース を期待していました。

例
例1 pg_num_rows() の例
<?php
$result = pg_query($conn, "SELECT 1");
$rows = pg_num_rows($result);
echo $rows . " row(s) returned.\n";
?>上の例の出力は以下となります。
1 row(s) returned.

Not sure why this documentation doesn't have the following note:
Note: Use pg_affected_rows() to get number of rows affected by INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE query.
Found on other resources. Adding here in case someone else is looking for the info.
