A boolean value is returned as the strings 't' and 'f', not the constants true and false. This presents all kinds of interesting oddities for code that does something like:
$r = pg_query("SELECT FALSE");
list($b) = pg_fetch_row($r);
if ($b)
echo "This gets displayed 100% of the time because %b is the string 'f'\n";
else
echo "This never gets displayed: $b is always true\n";
The same problem lies with the NULL value, which IMHO, should be mapped to the constant NULL, not the string 'NULL'. I took a first stab at handling this, but have been by and large unsuccessful, so I'm posting here instead of submitting a complete solution. My patches can be found at the URL below:

Any help/assistance is appreciated. I thought I was doing the right thing, but am apparently not. Please advise. Thanks in advance. -sc
