Hmm... How would I tell that to `psql'? Via "-v" parameter?
I wonder if there is a way to tell the PHP script where the socket
is... The documentation of pg_connect() function is not exhaustive:
there is an "options" field for connection, but nowhere does it
explain syntax of specifying the options, nor what sort of options it
is expecting.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pg-connect.php
Is there anyone knowledgeable with PHP in here? PHP's mailing lists
have been down for a few weeks because of transition to new server
or something else.
Many thanks,
