* how to  use $result->ruseltStatus

I want to make sure queries returned aren't empty. Tried this:

    $conn = Pg::connectdb("dbname=$db");
    $res  = $conn->exec("$q");
    $result_status = $res->resultStatus;
    ($result_status != PGRES_EMPTY_QUERY) ? print "query not empty\n" :
print "query empty\n";

But it returns '2' (not sure which constant it is, but it's not
PGRES_EMPTY_QUERY) on empty queries.

What's the right use of this property?

Check the number of rows returned (after checking for OK
resultStatus).

PGRES_EMPTY_QUERY means you sent an empty string as the query, eg
	$conn->exec("");
This is pretty useless, and is distinguished only for historical
reasons...
