Description:
------------
When you try to connect to a Postgresql database with a password containing 1 or more spaces, pdo will fail to connect.

You must escape yourself the user & password and put it into the dsn to make it work.

It may also be true for other databases ... it's not tested

Test script:
---------------
https://gist.github.com/3046155

Expected result:
----------------
See a connection and no error for both tries 

Actual result:
--------------
See an error for the first one and a correct result for the second one

It seems to be a pdo-psql only ... not affecting other drivers like mysql

I have confirmed your findings. Let me do a little sniffing around and see what I 
can come up with.

I think the attached patch maybe slightly better than the one proposed, the 
attached patch also accounts for passwords that may contain \ character inside 
them.

Thanks Iliaa -

I will update the pull request to take into account escaping backslashes as well.
 [2013-07-22 04:37 UTC] stas@php.net
Will, any news on the updated patch?

@stas - last I heard we're taking Iliaa's patch that's attached here.

It doesn't look like any patch was applied and there are conflicts with both Iliaa's and my previous patches.  I'm going to merge the patches/conflicts and make a new PR on Github.

I plan on merging this tonight unless I have pushback.  This will go upstream from 5.3+

Hi,

i don't quite get why we need the PDOTEST_DSN along with PDO_PGSQL_TEST_DSN. Those would differentiate themselves only with the password= param. Maybe just cutoff the password param from PDO_PGSQL_TEST_DSN? Were simpler than having to set PDOTEST_DSN just for this one test. Will need to be fixed somewhen.

Cheers.

@ab - agreed.  Not sure where the logic was when that was created, but I avoid using it.
