AFAIK you don't have to do this, postgres does it automatically when you 
connect.

Probably best asking the postgres-general list 
(http://www.postgresql.org/community/lists/) this instead of on a php 
list, as postgres would need to support it before php could access that 
info (and I don't know if it can tell you this info).
