Re: [PHP-DB] Connection issues with pgsql?
OOPS! /me hangs head in shame...
That's what it was. Guess that's what I get for always using PHPlib's
abstraction layer... I hardly ever use the actual pg_*() functions anymore.
Thanks for putting up with me. ;)

RE: [PHP-DB] Connection issues with pgsql?
Sorry for not fully reading your post. That's what I get 4 spd rdng.
Just another WAG--have you tried using get_resource_type() on $myconn?
That may tell you whether the thing exists after its creation, and if it
does, it should tell you "pgsql link" as the resource type. I'd suspect
that if it doesn't know the type that the postgresql interface is not
enabled.
Again, sorry for shooting from the hip with the first answer.

RE: [PHP-DB] Connection issues with pgsql?
Check the documentation on pg_query. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-query.php It expects the link identifier as the first argument and the query as the second. Switch your arguments and you might have some luck.

Re: [PHP-DB] Connection issues with pgsql?
As I said in my first post, I tried the following connection strings as
well:
"dbname=thornvalley user=apache password=[passwd]"
"dbname=thornvalley user=apache password=[passwd] host=localhost port=5432"
and had the same results. After messing around with pg_hba.conf (I set local
authentication to 'password' instead of 'ident', I was able to get an error
message /when I used the wrong password/:
Warning: pg_connect() [function.pg-connect]: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL
server: FATAL: Password authentication failed for user "apache" . in
/var/www/html/dbtest.php on line 3
error
If I used the correct password, that message would not appear. Furthermore,
when I added the line
echo "$myconn = ".$myconn;
to my script after pg_connect(), I would get:
$myconn = Resource id #2
which suggessts to me that it is successful in connecting to the db server,
but, for some reason PHP is unable to use the connection after that. Like I
said, it's weird. I have no idea why it's doing that.

RE: [PHP-DB] Connection issues with pgsql?
I'd suggest building a connection string, explicitly defining the user and
password. Maybe it would give you a more descriptive error that way
("invalid user", etc.).
The other thing I've done is do something like this:
$database = pg_connect ($conn_string)
or die ("Help! No connection to the database! Error: " .
pg_last_error());
That may give you some more diagnostic info?
