postgresql array with PHP

Hello All,

I have a few array types in a table that I'd like to update/retrieve from
PHP. I manage to update/insert the array with a common sql statement but
am having a tough time retrieving the data back into an array like
form. PHP seems to store the result of a Postgresql array as a single
element. Is there a simple way to retrieve Postgresql array datatypes as
a PHP array instead of a single element?

Thanks,

Steve Bourg
