I know connecting should be easy but I am foxed why I cannot seem to connect on my local machine as http://127.0.0.1/~alf/test2.php I tried pg_connect("host=localhost port=5432 dbname=db user=alf") and the same without the host and port which should be sufficient. The error I get is "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pg_connect()". This seems to suggest that PHP is not configured with pgslq. However, my phpinfo() shows version = PHP 4.2.2 and configured includes '--with-pgsql=shared' (standard installation with RedHat 8) My /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf I have set as follows: # TYPE DATABASE IP_ADDRESS MASK AUTH_TYPE AUTH_ARGUMENT local all trust host all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust Any ideas what I am overlooking?
