PostgreSQL+PHP+Win98

Hello everybody

I am trying to connect from a PHP-Skript to a PostgreSQL Database
running with Cygwin under Win98. But didn't succeed yet;-(
Anytime I call the script I get an error-message:

Unable to connect to PostgreSQL-Server: connectDBStart() --socket()
failed: errno 0 No error in skriptfile on line 19

The Apache is running and the postmaster was started with the
option -i

Any help is welcome

Greetings
Conni

It would be a nice idea to put the content of line 19 ;-))

Hi Simeo

You helped me to find the fault - it is working now;-)

I haven't set all connection options. It seems that PostgreSQL needs a
nearly complete connection string when running under Windows while
running under Linux it only needs the name of the database.

Yes, you are right, sorry.

$host = "localhost";
$port = "5432";
$user = "zwerg98";
$password = "";
$dbname = "mz";

// eine Verbindung zum Datenbankserver aufbauen
$conn = pg_connect("dbname=$dbname user=$user port=$port host=$host");
<-- Line 19
