Description
resource
pg_connect ( string connection_string [, int connect_type] )
pg_connect() returns a connection resource
that is needed by other PostgreSQL functions.
pg_connect() opens a connection to a
PostgreSQL database specified by the
connection_string. It returns a connection
resource on success. It returns FALSE if the connection could
not be made. connection_string should be
a quoted string.
The arguments available for
connection_string includes
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.
If a second call is made to pg_connect() with
the same connection_string, no
new connection will be established unless you pass
PGSQL_CONNECT_FORCE_NEW as
connect_type, but instead, the connection
resource of the already opened connection will be returned. You
can have multiple connections to the same database if you use
different connection strings.
The old syntax with multiple parameters
$conn = pg_connect("host", "port", "options", "tty", "dbname")
has been deprecated.
