Re: Authentication Question

I bet your connect class is distilling your $db array down into a connect
string that looks like:

pg_connect("host= dbname=db user=username");

And the presence of a host= in there is goofing things up. Can you edit
the class to make sure it isn't inserting a host= part before connecting?
