first, make a function called query or something for pg_Exec ($conn, $sql);

in this example though you would do

$res = pg_Exec ($conn, $sql);
for($i=0; @$row=pg_fetch_array($res, $i); $i++) {
        echo "$row[first] $row[last] <br><br>"

}


that will loop through the results. make sure your actual query statement is
correct though, the one below is not.
