You can't really catch connection errors with pg_last_error. You will need to use pg_connection_status for that. But it will not give you enough info to take care of the connection issue.

It looks like error reporting is disabled in your case. So give this a try

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);

$dbconn = pg_connect("host=localhost port=5432 dbname=test user=domain_test password=test");

$stat = pg_connection_status($dbconn);
if ($stat === PGSQL_CONNECTION_OK) {
    echo 'Connection status ok';
} else {
    echo 'Connection status bad';
}
