PHP 4.0 Bug #6198 Updated: Connecting to Postgres backend

ID: 6198 Updated by: jah Reported By: goran@cenis.org.yu Status: Assigned Bug Type: Documentation problem Assigned To: jah Comments: Writing pg_connect() the way it would work with both older and newer versions of PostgreSQL seems a bit unnecessary work, because the same time PQsetdbLogin() replaced PQsetdb() in PostgreSQL APIs, there came also a new function PQconnectdb(), that takes one argument, a connection argument string. That's the current preferred way, because using it, the calling application doesn't actually have to now anything about the possible parameters, and they can be changed or there can be additions at the will of PostgreSQL developer team. PHP manual just notes that pg_connect() can be called this way too, not that the old way this is deprecated. This should/will be fixed in the manual. -- Jouni PS. Jani, hieno juttu että joku tosiaan jaksaa käydä näitä bugeja läpi, mutta ihan kaikkeen ei ehkä pidä koskea tietämättä täsmälleen mistä on kyse.... No, olihan tää multakin kyllä fixaamatta.
