From you previous message and looking at what you have here I don't
think you want to do this but...
If you mean to call function foo before the SQL get's sent to Postgres
try:
$result = pg_Exec($database,
"SELECT code,title,price FROM catalog
WHERE title like '%$keyword%' AND " .
foo($regs[1]) . " = '$category' AND " .
foo($regs[2]) . " = '$language'
ORDER BY code");
You might want to consult my reply to your last method for a better
solution to this.
Hope this helps,
