* postgresql array with PHP

Hello All,
I have a few array types in a table that I'd like to update/retrieve from
PHP. I manage to update/insert the array with a common sql statement but
am having a tough time retrieving the data back into an array like
form. PHP seems to store the result of a Postgresql array as a single
element. Is there a simple way to retrieve Postgresql array datatypes as
a PHP array instead of a single element?
Thanks,
Steve Bourg

I had the same problem.
I believe having an array field type in a database table doesn't help keep
atomicity of the database.
What I did was, thought about my table schema a little more. Worked out
that I can use the array field type for only storing numbers. Why?
When I receive the row from postgres I explode it. If I was using text in
the array, it may contain "," which would then ruin the explode.
Where $row[6] is the selected array field containing only numbers.
$new_array = explode(",", ereg_replace("[{-}]", "", $row[6]));
I was talking to rasmus ages back and he said there is no support for
arrays from postgresql.
