Adam, FYI, according to Rasmus Lerdorf, your patches have been
committed. From the changelog:

* ext/pgsql/pgsql.c
ext/pgsql/php_pgsql.h:
- Added the pg_lolseek function, which allows for arbitrary seeking within
a large object, and the pg_lotell call, which can be used to find the
current file offset for a large object (Submitted by: Adam Haberlach
<adam@newsnipple.com> <mailto:adam@newsnipple.com>).
- Added the pg_lolseek and pg_lotell functions

Regards,

I have been asked by the major PHP developer Rasmus Lerdorf to see if
the PostgreSQL/PHP interface needs any improvements.

Is the current PostgreSQL interface module in PHP adequate? Does it
support all the current libpq features?

If not, would someone submit some patches to the PHP folks. They want
us to work well with PHP. They are basically encouraging us to improve
it in any way we can.

I use PHP and Postgres together quite a bit, and find the APIs
complete enough for most things. However, just last week I implemented

pg_lolseek($loid, $offset $whence)
and
pg_lotell($loid)

For some stuff that we are working on. They are pretty straightforward,
and I can package them up and submit them if someone wants.

Would to send this over to the PHP folks for inclusion? Thanks.

I sent them patches against the at-the-time up-to-date CVS tree back
when this first came up, they said that they failed, so I sent them another
set, and have not heard back from them. It doesn't seem to show up in the
cvs logs.

I'll bug someone again and see if I can find out what happened. I mean,
they only have 240 people with write access to the cvs tree...
