There may be a couple of things wrong here:
(1) You've granted "nobody" read rights to the table(s)? Don't forget
that user "nobody" is default user of Apache -- and perhaps other
Web servers as well.
(2) My pg_connect statements are all of the form:
pg_connect("localhost","5432","","","library");
Some of the parameters can be omitted but I believe the quotes &
commas are needed.
(3) You are "echoing" your output into a table with a "while"? If not
all you'll get --at best-- is one entry.
Hope that helps .....
