A quick guess: Maybe you have not created a postgres user called "httpd" (or
"nobody", "daemon" etc., depending on your operating system). PHP scripts
run under the UID of the web server, which usually is not the same as
your personal account.
So, you can either create a httpd user in postgres, or alternatively, I
think that pg_connect() in PHP also offers a way to specify your username
and password as parameters (check out the PHP docs on the PostgreSQL
functions for details).
HTH.
Greetinx & have a nice weekend,
