According to bugs.php.net this is supposed to be fixed. (i think http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22042 ) //this should reset the position to the first record, not the second. pg_result_seek($result, 0); Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-04 12:35:17] iliaa@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS.

I even tried to call pg_result_seek($result, -1), but, not surprisingly, it didn't work.
