PEAR DB, PostgreSQL and postmaster w/o -i

Hi everyone, recently I came across the problem of having to "port" a PHP application from the use of flat file databases to PostgreSQL. I know for a fact that postmaster daemon both in both test and production environments runs without the "-i" switch, therefore I get the error messages documented in the manual. I can avoid this when I leave out the host=... part of the connect string for pg_connect. Since I don't want to use the pgsql specific functions, I am wondering how I could do this with PEAR's DB module? What does the DB::connect-line have to look like? $db = DB::connect("pgsql://user:passwd@localhost/mydb"); gives the know errormessage. Simply leaving out the @localhost does not work either. I am running PHP 4.0.4pl1 and the PEAR that comes with it. Thanks in advance. Cheers -- Stephan -- Stephan Engelke engelke@gmx.net *** Treeware: Manuals and documentation. ***
