pg_connect — Open a PostgreSQL connection
$connection_string
[, int $connect_type
] ) : resource
pg_connect() opens a connection to a
PostgreSQL database specified by the
connection_string.
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.
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 (defaults to value of user),
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.
The options parameter can be used to set command line parameters
to be invoked by the server.
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.
If PGSQL_CONNECT_ASYNC is given, then the
connection is established asynchronously. The state of the connection
can then be checked via pg_connect_poll() or
pg_connection_status().
PostgreSQL connection resource on success, FALSE on failure.

Example #1 Using pg_connect()
<?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";
$dbconn4 = pg_connect($conn_string);
//connect to a database named "test" on the host "sheep" with a username and password
$dbconn5 = pg_connect("host=localhost options='--client_encoding=UTF8'");
//connect to a database on "localhost" and set the command line parameter which tells the encoding is in UTF-8
