Connect With PostgreSQL in Phalcon Framework - postgresql

Question

Phalcon is not able to connect to postgrsql. Here are my settings in config.php
return new \Phalcon\Config(array(
'database' => array(
'adapter' => 'Postgresql',
'host' => 'localhost',
'username' => 'postgres',
'password' => 'root',
'dbname' => 'mydb',
'charset' => 'utf8',
),
'application' => array(
'controllersDir' => __DIR__ . '/../../app/controllers/',
'modelsDir' => __DIR__ . '/../../app/models/',
'viewsDir' => __DIR__ . '/../../app/views/',
'pluginsDir' => __DIR__ . '/../../app/plugins/',
'libraryDir' => __DIR__ . '/../../app/library/',
'cacheDir' => __DIR__ . '/../../app/cache/',
'baseUri' => '/test/',
)
));
Page is blank showing no errors.
DI service implementation
use Phalcon\Db\Adapter\Pdo\Postgresql as DbAdapter;
$di->set('db', function () use ($config) {
return new DbAdapter(array(
'host' => $config->database->host,
'username' => $config->database->username,
'password' => $config->database->password,
'dbname' => $config->database->dbname,
"charset" => $config->database->charset
));
});

Answer 1

There is no port in db connection array you used. Default postgresql port is 5432. so use this in your db connection and try to pass array directly to postgresql adapter constructor.
or
install postgres pdo /php pdo again.

Answer 2

I think that code is fine.
I was working a project where i had to use MySQL and PostGres.I connected my Postgresdb by following-
Below default 'db' connection string i wrote the following code inside services.php-
$di->setShared('pgphalcon', function () {
$config = $this->getConfig();
$adaptar = "PostgreSQL";
$class = 'Phalcon\Db\Adapter\Pdo\\' . $adaptar;
$params = [
'host' => "localhost",
'port' => "5432", // for localhost no need to put this line unless u change the port
'username' => "postgres",
'password' => "12345",
'dbname' => "phalcon",
];
$connection = new $class($params);
return $connection;
});
Then your controller function
do the following-
public function yourcontrollernameAction()
{
$con = $this->di->get('pghalcon');
$post = $con->fetchOne("SELECT * FROM blog ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1", Phalcon\Db::FETCH_ASSOC);
$this->view->data= $post;
}

One thing to clarify- I was failed to do db operation by Model for PostGreSQL. That's why I used this way.
