Обсуждение: php - pgsql connection

Hi,

 I know it's not a PHP3 mailinglist but the question is somewhat related
to pgsql.
 I would like to know what's the problem with following line:
$dbConn = pg_Connect( "  host=$host  user=$user  password=$password port=$port dbname=$dbname");

 The php variables are filled with the appropriate values.
However, I always get the following error:

 Warning: Unable to connect to PostgresSQL server: connectDB() -- connect
() failed: Can't assign requested address Is the postmaster running (with
-i) at 'localhost' and accepting connections on TCP/IP port 'dbname='? in
/usr/users/szoli/public_html/guestbook.php3 on line 61

        Thanks in advance

                                                                     ^^^^^^^^^^^

my guess is that $port is not assigned. its trying to connect to port
'dbname=', which is actually the start of the next variable pair. $port should
have some numeric data in it, something like 5432...

Thank you very much! You were right, I somehow forgot to fill the 'port'
variable with the appropriate value.. I feel a bit dumb now :(

    Thanks again
