I don't know about PHP but usually specifying explicitly host=localhost
will try to connect via TCP/IP on localhost:5432, while default action
is to connect to local "unix domain" socket.
Localhost itself is a regular hostname, which usually should map to
loopback ip 127.0.0.1.
Check out PostgreSQL documentation for pg_hba.conf to allow TCP/IP
connections from localhost.
Also, postgresql.conf should contain line
tcpip_socket = on
