Hello,
There is a meta-command in psql, '\H', that toggles HTML output as a result of an sql statement. I tried to execute that in PHP scripts like: 'pg_exec($conn, "\\H") or die ("HTML format failed");'
But, it didn't work. The reason I want to do this is that I can just save the output to a file and it will have a nice html table layout, so that I don't have to format a query result in PHP. It will be a lot convenient.
There is no free lunch, but well, do you know a way to go around and execute a psql meta-command in PHP? =)
Thank you.
- Bernie
