Not sure what causes this with your server but I always use something like this, ie first connect then do your stuff and then close the connection: require("dbconnect.inc"); // holds the $conn which is pg_connect("with passes") if (!$conn) {exit("Database connection failed. Please try again." . $conn);} $sql ="SELECT ..."; $product=pg_exec($conn,$sql); if (!$product) {exit("Database connection failed. Please try again.");} while ($row = pg_fetch_row($product)) { echo" $row[1] "; } pg_close($conn); BR, -- Aarni Burglars usually come in through your windows.
