Please use code tags as required by forum rules!
The single quotes prevent the variable from expansion, so the literal name is inserted. Try using double quotes instead, and don't escape the $ with the \ . Some seds insist on a line break before the insertion text.

for PostgreSQL server. pg_escape_identifier(3) adds double quotes before and after data. Users should not add double quotes. Use of this

is the last connection made by pg_connect(3) or pg_pconnect(3).
o $data

A string containing the escaped data.

// Connect to the database
$dbconn = pg_connect('dbname=foo');
