I'm running PHP/mySQL via a web hosting service. I require my PHP scripts to

I have the PostgreSQL server setup to accept connections from anyone:
I've tested this connection via pgAdminIII and I'm able to connect using this
IP, but when I try to connect via php from the hosted webpage...
But I'm foiled by:
Warning: pg_connect(): Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: could not
connect
to server: Operation timed out Is the server running on host
"24.85.82.xxx" and
accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? in

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm not very
experienced with any of this stuff.
Your webhosting company must be blocking outgoing requests on port 5432. I
was able to connect to your server with your code - no problem.
