Can't connect to 7.4 DB

[Michael Hanna <taojones@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi this php code:


	
	// add to DB
	
	// database access parameters
	$host = "localhost";
	$user = "postgres";
	$pass = "postgres";
	$db = "cosc3p94";
	
	// open a connection to the database server
	$connection = pg_connect("host=$host dbname=$db user=$user 
password=$pass");
	
	if (!$connection)
	{
			die("Could not open connection to database server");
	}
	

	...

results in:

Could not open connection to database server

and I'm not sure why. The web browser, web server, and database are on 
the same machine..

I checked the pg_hba.conf and it says this:

# TYPE  DATABASE    USER        IP-ADDRESS        IP-MASK           
METHOD

local   all         all                                             
trust
# IPv4-style local connections:
host    all         all         127.0.0.1         255.255.255.255   
trust
# IPv6-style local connections:
host    all         all         ::1               
ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ff$


which is untouched from the default settings...
