Hi,

Try installing this: apt-get install php5-pgsql
And also check your command is pg_connect all lower case.

Make sure you restart apache afterwards.

If that's still failing afterwards perhaps add the port to your connection string,

Thanks

Mike

    If he's using PHP 7.x and opts to install php5-pgsql, then the package manager will install PHP 5.x and associated packages which won't be available to PHP 7.x since they will install to and use two different directories.

The actual function is pg_connect not pg_Connect (you're using a C instead of c in the function name).

The function should look like the following:

pg_connect("host=host_ip port=5432 dbname=db_name user=db_user password=db_pass");
