#42398 [NEW]: pg_(p)connect produces uninformative error messages

From: webmaster at touchingvirus dot net Operating system: Windows PHP version: 5.2.3 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: pg_(p)connect produces uninformative error messages Description: ------------ When connecting to a pgSQL server (I use 8.2) with a wrong username, password or port in the connection string, the error given is really uninformative to the user and actually suggests a problem with the postgreSQL server: "Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request." The server didn't terminate & the connection was refused/aborted Expected result: ---------------- To be honest, I expected an error that was similar to that of mySQL - though I know that is because mySQL actually produces good error messages =) e.g. Access denied for: root@localhost (Using Password: YES) The psql binary errors with the expect errors like: psql: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "root" -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42398&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=42398&r=mysqlcfg
