pg_connect
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
pg_connect — Open a PostgreSQL connection
Description
resource pg_connect
( string $connection_string
[, int $connect_type
] )
If a second call is made to pg_connect() with
the same connection_string
as an existing connection, the
existing connection will be returned unless you pass
PGSQL_CONNECT_FORCE_NEW as
connect_type
.
The old syntax with multiple parameters
$conn = pg_connect("host", "port", "options", "tty", "dbname")
has been deprecated.
Parameters
-
connection_string
-
The connection_string
can be empty to use all default parameters, or it
can contain one or more parameter settings separated by whitespace.
Each parameter setting is in the form keyword = value. Spaces around
the equal sign are optional. To write an empty value or a value
containing spaces, surround it with single quotes, e.g., keyword =
'a value'. Single quotes and backslashes within the value must be
escaped with a backslash, i.e., \' and \\.
The currently recognized parameter keywords are:
host
, hostaddr
, port
,
dbname
, user
,
password
, connect_timeout
,
options
, tty
(ignored), sslmode
,
requiressl
(deprecated in favor of sslmode
), and
service
. Which of these arguments exist depends
on your PostgreSQL version.
-
connect_type
-
If PGSQL_CONNECT_FORCE_NEW is passed, then a new connection
is created, even if the connection_string
is identical to
an existing connection.
Return Values
PostgreSQL connection resource on success, FALSE on failure.
Examples

<?php
$dbconn = pg_connect("dbname=mary");
//connect to a database named "mary"
$dbconn2 = pg_connect("host=localhost port=5432 dbname=mary");
// connect to a database named "mary" on "localhost" at port "5432"
$dbconn3 = pg_connect("host=sheep port=5432 dbname=mary user=lamb password=foo");
//connect to a database named "mary" on the host "sheep" with a username and password
$conn_string = "host=sheep port=5432 dbname=test user=lamb password=bar";
