Because the PHP script is not running as Unix user bchytrek (most likely
that process runs under some daemon userid or other). When you are
using IDENT authentication, your Unix user name has to match your
Postgres user name.
You could possibly work around that by creating an IDENT map that allows
the PHP daemon user to be accepted as bchytrek; see the admin guide for
details. But more likely you'll just want to switch to a different
authentication method.
