Try something like this. (Not fully tested)

<?
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$db_handle = pg_connect("host = localhost port = 5432 dbname = postgis 
user = postgres password = GrassJump");
if( $db_handle === FALSE ) {
   echo 'Failed to connect';
} else {
   $query = 'SELECT * FROM rjybound';
   $result = pg_query($db_handle, $query);
   if( $result === FALSE ) {
     $error = pg_last_error($db_handle);
     if( $error === FALSE ) {
       echo 'Unable to determine last error';
     } else {
       echo 'Last Error = ' . $error;
     }
   } else {
     while ( $row = pg_fetch_row($result) ) {
       echo "Element 0: $row[0]";
       echo "<br />\n";
     }
   }
}
?>
