When you access is via the PHP interface (which, I assume, is running as
a CGI program), then you are not running as pgsql, and so any settings
you've put into pgsql's startup scripts will not take effect. Determine
which user is actually executing the code when accessed normally (hopefully
you're using some mechanism to execute scripts as the owner, in which case
it will be the owner of the file. Otherwise it will be the user that the
web server runs as.) Then, make the appropriate settings in the
appropriate scripts for that user.
