Re: Connection problem

I'm sorry, I didn't look at this very closely... just looked at the error
and assumed....

It looks like your problem is actually your variable that you are passing
into the pg_connect. When you are setting up your connection string,
$con_string should be $this->con_string.

It's giving you this error because it's not getting any parameters in
pg_connect.
