Feature reqeuest for parametric queries, SQL bind variables, 
parameterised procedure calls, or whatever people call them 
;-) 
 
For example 
 
 pg_query("UPDATE Wibble SET foo=? WHERE wombat=?", 
$newFoo, $wombat); 
 
 pg_exec("spAddComment(?,?,?)",$user,$title,$content); 
 
A notable feature of these is no need to build dynamic SQL, 
and remember to addslashes(). Security becomes easier, and 
if prepared statements can be reused, speed can become 
better. 
 
 $stmt = pg_prepare("INSERT INTO Events (date,msg) 
VALUES (?,?)"); 
 
 pg_execute($stmt,date(),"Wotzit Flobbled"); 
 ... 
 pg_execute($stmt,date(),"Slime Thoroughly Slaughtered"); 
 
(Does PHP have varargs by the way?) 
 
Some finer details to sort, due to the way different database 
backends work. Postgres has stored procedures, but it looks 
like you SELECT from them, and they behave like functions in 
other databases. 
 
Otherwise though, a good language.
