Hello Danny,
I can't go through your whole script but I recommend you use Pear::DB
as an abstraction layer for the pgsql connection and interaction.
This will give you more power with the debug and you can keep
everything simple IMHO.

More info at
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.php#package.database.db

It is default on PHP, so you don't even need to install anything.

Cheers
