Description

function pg_version(?PgSql\Connection $connection = null): array

pg_version() returns an array with the client, protocol and server version.

For more detailed server information, use pg_parameter_status().

Parameters

connection

An PgSql\Connection instance. When connection is null, the default connection is used. The default connection is the last connection made by pg_connect() or pg_pconnect().
