When this fails, I get a useful error print:

$dbconn = pg_connect($connection_str);

Ouput:

Warning: pg_connect() [function.pg-connect]: Unable to connect to
PostgreSQL server: FATAL: password authentication failed for user
"postgres1" in ...

How do I capture this error and handle the printing myself?  I want to
be able to know why it failed... ie password in this case.

This is a PHP, not a PostgreSQL question.

if (!pg_connect()) {
  if (preg_match('/authentication\sfailed/', pg_last_error())) {
    echo "Oh dear, you lost your password?\n";
  } else if (true) {
    echo "OMG, something else went wrong!\n";
  }
}
