The docs just say:

[ http://www.php3.org/manual/html/function.pg-connect.html ]
A connection can also established with the following command: $conn = pg_connect("dbname=marliese port=5432");
Other parameters besides dbname and port are host, tty and options.

But I found the (not so good documented) solution with trial and error:
$database = pg_Connect ("dbname=template user=username");

Obviously user and password are also "other parameters".
