hmmm, i should have looked closer than i did before replying.

if the scripts are running on the same machine as the database, then it
should work fine as above.

if the scripts are running on a different machine, then the php code needs
to be changed to use:
> if ( !($pgconn = pg_connect("xxx", "5432", "", "", "photos")) )

where xxx is the name or ip address of the database server.

the database server would need a pg_hba.conf entry like:
> host         all         xxx     255.255.255.255   trust

where xxx is the ip address of the machine running the scripts.
