Re: connection fails

I'm not a PHP-er, but I notice that a difference between the script that
works & the one that doesn't is the "host=... portion. Could it be that
phpPgAdmin & the script that works do *not* use tcpip to connect & while the
failing script does?

If so, the message you got also contains the answer- you need to turn the
tcpip_socket on in the .conf file, or change the first script to not specify
a host.
