It's much the same as using MySql, just replace mysql_ with pg_ i.e.

mysql_fetch_array() becomes pg_fetch_array()

You're basically right but you've omitted an important point: the order of parameters is often different. eg mysql_query(query_string[, connection]) vs pg_query([connection, ] query_string).

I don't know why but it is a bit annoying as I'm about to convert a MySQL project to PostgreSQL, and a simple search-and-replace would have made it much less time-consuming.

BTW the reference manual on php.net looks quite good, but I've worked mostly from a couple of good O'Reilly books. I'm still looking for a good non-product-specific database book... any recommendations?
