Thanks Tomas and everyone.

I have the following passwords:

1. Pgbouncer.ini file

[databases]
MYDB = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=MYDB user=MYDB_MYDB client_encoding=utf8
port=5432 password=='bypass'

2. In the auth_file (with auth_type set to "md5")

auth_type = md5
auth_file = /var/lib/pgsql/pgbouncer.txt

Inside the auth_file:
"me" "<an md5 string>"

3. In the PHP file where I need to call with pg_connect() function.
This is the postgresql database user as usual.

pg_connect("host=127.0.0.1 dbname=$db port=6432 user=$user password=$pass");

Questions:

a. For #2, the pgbouncer password, do I need to create this "me" user
somewhere, or just writing here in the auth_file is fine? I have not
"created" this user anywhere else yet. Just written the user name and
md5 of the password in the auth_file.

b. In the connection string in #3 above, I need to be mentioning the
pgbouncer user name, right? Will the password then be md5 as in
auth_file? Or nothing?
