I mean, hiding your connection info from other site hosted on the same computer (if you're on a provider host) or from site users? Since PHP is server side, end user never sees code so your account info are safe. If you want to simply take them off from your web directory, you can use a include() or require() statement to get a file containing the pg_connect instruction from another directory (you can select it with the php_include_path option in the configuration file) . However, this directory must be readable from the http server process, so it's simply "hidden", not "protected", if you know what I mean.
