User Database Authentication via PHP?

Hello!

Do anyone of you know how I can get PHP to be able to pass the user and password
info over to the postgresql server to authenticate the user and allow him to
be able to access the database server?

I couldn't quite figure out how to let PHP do that so if anyone managed to get
it working or have other suggestions or cautions against doing it, please let
me know.

Thanks in advance!
