Display the results returned from an EXPLAIN query in PostgreSQL

Information from the EXPLAIN query is retrieved by using the pg_last_notice function.

The last notice is the last notice for the connection, not the result set, so the data overwritten with each query.
/*
// $connect = pg_connect();
$query = "explain select * from {table}";
$resultID = pg_exec($connect,$query);
$result_text = pg_last_notice($connect);
print_r(nl2br($result_text));
?>
