fixed it.
code is below: (output 1 is screen output 2 is csv).
it seemed to like fetch_row better than fetch_array .. if anyone could
explain i would be really grateful.
there's nothing worse than fixing something and not knowing how you did it
!;-)
for ($x=0; $x<$numcdbs; $x++)
{
$cdbarr = pg_fetch_array($cdbs,$x);
// get last visit from appointments table
//$now = gmmktime("Y-m-d");
$date = gmdate("Y-m-d h:m:s",time());
$lastv = pg_Exec($conn,"select max(start_date) from appointments where
cdb=".$cdbarr["cdb"]." and start_date < '".$date."'");
//print "select max(start_date) from appointments where
cdb=".$cdbarr["cdb"]." and start_date < '".$date."'<br>";
$numlastv=pg_numrows($lastv);
//print $numlastv." last visit returned<br>";
if ($numlastv > 0)
{
$lastvdets = pg_fetch_row($lastv,0);
//$lastvisit = gmdate("d/m/y",strtotime($lastvdets[0]));
if ($output==1)
{
if (!pg_fieldisnull($lastv,0,0)){$lastvisit =
gmdate("d/m/y", strtotime($lastvdets[0]));}else{$instdate=" ";}
}
if ($output==2)
{
if (!pg_fieldisnull($lastv,0,0)){$lastvisit =
gmdate("d/m/y", strtotime($lastvdets[0]));}else{$instdate="";}
}
}
}
