You can indeed use the 'host:port' for mysql, as this is an accepted input for the mysql_connect hostname. However, that syntax would not work for any of the other databases. Since the default pgsql portnumber is 5432 and that is the value that is hardcoded in dbx_pgsql.c, wouldn't it be easier to just remove this part of the connection-string from the c-file? That makes the patch trivial, while allowing you to set the portnumber with environment variables (PGPORT=7890). Since you read the source I assume you can compile it too, so you could easily test if this works for you (I do not have a running postgresql here, so testing is difficult), on systems with both a default portnumber and an alternative portnumber. Any comments on this solution instead of a host:port syntax? Cheerio, Marc. -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
