This means that your DB::connect call failed. Check the username, password etc. If you don't understand why it fails try this: $dsn = "pgsql://the-dsn-you-used-above"; print_r(DB::parseDSN($dsn)); This will give you an array that looks something like this: Array ( [phptype] => mysql [dbsyntax] => mysql [username] => foo [password] => bar [protocol] => tcp [hostspec] => gazonk [port] => [socket] => [database] => db ) If the contents don't look right, you have to fix your DSN string, or use an array like this for connecting instead. - Stig -- Stig Sæther Bakken, Fast Search & Transfer ASA, Trondheim, Norway http://pear.php.net/wishlist.php/ssb
