Dear Cecile,

You can do this with a connection string:

pg_connect -conninfo $string

...or directly, dos/unix style, as in

pg_connect $database -host $host -port $portNumber

Cheers

Subject:  [GENERAL] how to use pg-connect ?



Hello,


     I'd like to know if there is a way to use pg_connect() with a
different host than
« localhost ».
     I tried to put an IP address or a server name but it didn't work. Has
anybody ever used pg_connect with something else than localhost ?


     Thank you

          Cecile
