pg_convert
PgSql\Connection$connection,
string$table_name,
array$values,
[int$flags = 0]
): array|false
pg_convert checks and converts the values in values into suitable values for use in an SQL statement. Precondition for pg_convert is the existence of a table table_name which has at least as many columns as values has elements. The fieldnames in table_name must match the indices in values and the corresponding datatypes must be compatible. Returns an array with the converted values on success, false otherwise.
Note:
Boolean values are accepted and converted to PostgreSQL booleans. String representations of boolean values are also supported. null is converted to PostgreSQL NULL.
