Re: maybe Offtopic : PostgreSQL & PHP ?

Not quite sure how your code is organised...
but you could access the variable $conn by including "connect.php" into the 
"query.php" script.
Otherwise, you will need to use persistent connections... which can be 
achieved via pg_pconnect...
a persistent connection will instead of creating a new database connection 
each time.. it will try to use
an existing connection that is no longer being used (persistent connections 
do tend to have a lot of quirks tho)
