Description: ------------ If DSN is set to something like pgsql://user:password@unix(/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432)/database DB::Connect fails to connect to database. If it's set to pgsql://user:password@tcp(localhost:5432)/database everything works fine. The bug did not exist in the version 1.5.0RC1. Reproduce code: --------------- $dsn = pgsql://user:password@unix(/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432)/database; $dbh = DB::connect($dsn); if (DB::isError($dbh)) {die($dbh->getMessage());} Expected result: ---------------- Connect to database. Actual result: -------------- DB Error: connect failed

I don't have a way to test things on your platform. Please produce a patch that works and I'll be glad to apply it. Thanks.

It turned out that there is nothing wrong with DB module itself. pg_connect function automatically adds socket name to the connect string so one shouldn't pass it with DSN string. Just pass a directory name where PostgreSQL keeps the opened Socket or nothing if it's in the default /tmp. Like that: $dsn = pgsql://user:password@unix(/tmp)/database; $dbh = DB::connect($dsn);

Thanks for following up. I'll add this information to the documentation.
