  $dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Could not connect");

  $meta = pg_meta_data($dbconn, 'authors');
  if (is_array($meta)) {

  ["num"]=>
  int(1)
  ["type"]=>
  string(7) "varchar"
  ["len"]=>
  int(-1)
  ["not null"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["has default"]=>
  bool(false)
}
["year"]=>
array(5) {
  ["num"]=>
  int(2)
  ["type"]=>
  string(4) "int2"
  ["len"]=>
  int(2)
  ["not null"]=>
  bool(false)
  ["has default"]=>
