1. you database must listen on TCP/IP and
2. the remote host needs privileges to connect to the DB
Read
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/curre...ntication.html
3. with php, you connect to the db:
$db = pg_connect("host=server dbname=database user=db_user");
$result = pg_exec($db, $sql);

There are any other functions like pg_numrows($result),
pg_fetch_array($result, $i) and so on. Read the PHP-Doku.

Oh no, wrong. Access to the db with the php-functions, not directly in
the data directorys.
