pg_connect -- Open a PostgreSQL connection
Description
int pg_connect (string conn_string)
Returns a connection index on success, or false if the connection
could not be made. Opens a connection to a PostgreSQL database.
The arguments should be within a quoted string.
Example 1. Using pg_connect arguments
<?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 ("user=lamb passwd=baaaa dbname=mary ");
//connect to a database named "mary" with a username and password
?>

The arguments available include
dbname
port,
host,
tty,
options,
user, and
password
This function returns a connection index that is needed by other
PostgreSQL functions. You can have multiple connections open at
once.
The previous syntax of:
$conn = pg_connect ("host", "port", "options", "tty",
"dbname")
has been deprecated.
