That's the old style connect method, you should update to the single
argument versions that lookgs like this:
pg_connect("dbname=dbname host=host user=user port=port");
But that's not the problem, just advice. Someday the 5 argument version
might slip off the face of PHP.

the problem is probably in your schema. Do you have lots of fk
constraints on the tables you're inserting into? Are you wrapping all
your inserts / updates / deletes into a single transaction? (you should).
How many inserts per second are these clients doing? (or trying to do :)

Always run the latest version, either 7.2.4 or 7.3.4. 7.3.4 is a bit
faster at fks than 7.2.4 so may be worth the upgrade if that's the issue.

It may well be a fk mismatch issue or something like it. examine your
table structure to make sure you aren't keying a varchar against an int8
or something like that.
also, look at tuning your default postgresql.conf file, it's pretty weak
out of the box on 7.2.x.
