note 115817 added to function.pg-connect

Getting md5 passwords was confusing because of a lack of documentation: - set up your pg_hba.conf in order to use md5 password instead of 'trust' or 'ident' - check if your postgres.conf has 'password_encryption=on' (depending on the version this might already be 'on'). - make sure to restart your postgres process. - in PHP you just supply the username and password in _plain_ text: 'host=localhost port=5432 dbname=megadb user=megauser password=holyhandbagsbatmanthispasswordisinplaintext' The postgres PHP library will automagically do the md5 encoding for you, no need to do it yourself. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 124.39.122.119 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.pg-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/115817 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115817/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115817/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115817/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115817/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115817/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115817/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/115817 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/115817 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
