Query much slower from php than psql or dbeaver

Hi,

After receiving an Unknown Address error with *pgsql-php@postgresql.org* I've
discovered this mailing list is catalogued as Inactive, so I'm sending my
question to this list.

I've made a php cli script that downloads a file from FTP, loads it in a
table and compares against the same table in 2 different databases that are
connected to the main one with pgsql foreign data wrapper (so there are 3
DB involved via linked servers).

I've tested the query with psql and DBeaver and it takes only milliseconds:
it returns 39 records and now there's only 16000 records on the table but
I've tested it with <100K. When I've tested my php script the same query
takes 14 minutes to return (more or less). I've checked there are no
blocking processes while runnig this query, I've analyzed the table,
dropped and recreated, added indexes... and every time I run my script it
takes those 14 minutes.

The script opens the connection and after that makes all of the operations:
some checks, load the file with COPY sentence, move data with some
additional columns to final table, and after this and without dropping the
connection it runs this query. After this long query, script iterates over
the returned records to make some other queries for every record. And
finally there are 2 more queries, that makes the reverse search: the slow
query checks diferences or non-existing records from file data in the 2
linked databases, and the las 2 queries check non-existing records from
their tables in the file. Everything goes smooth except this long-lasting
query.

This is the query:
select t1.aaaa as maindb_aaaa, t1.bbb as maindb_bbb, t1.ccccc as
maindb_ccccc, t1.timestamp_create as maindb_create,
t1.timestamp_closed as maindb_close, t1.ddddddddd as maindb_ddddddddd,
null::text as db1_sth,
t2.eeeeeeee as db1_eeeeeeee, t2.ffffffff as db1_ffffffff, null::text as
db2_sth,
t3.eeeeeeee as db2_eeeeeeee, t3.ffffffff as db2_ffffffff
from table1 t1
left join database1_fdw.table2 t2 on t1.aaaa = t2.btatpd_aaaa
and t1.file = 'file_name.csv'
and t2.btatpd_fecha = '20220119120000'
and substring(t1.bbb from 1 for 3) in (<some_values>)
left join database2_fdw.table2 t3 on t1.aaaa = t3.btatpd_aaaa
and t1.fichero_origen = 'file_name.csv'
and t3.btatpd_fecha = '20220119120000'
and substring(t1.bbb from 1 for 3) in (<some_different_values)
where t1.ccccc = 'ACTIVE'
and t1.fichero_origen = 'file_name.csv'
and ((t2.eeeeeeee is null and t3.eeeeeeee is null)
or
(t2.eeeeeeee is not null and t1.ddddddddd <> t2.ffffffff)
or
(t3.eeeeeeee is not null and t1.ddddddddd <> t3.ffffffff)
)
order by t1.bbb nulls last;

I'm using PHP 5.3.3, with PG 9.6 over CentOS 6.8. I'm connecting to PG with
pg_connect and pg_query because here nobody is using PDO. And I have to
warn you that I'm not a PHP expert. Also I'm aware how old these versions
are, I'm trying to finish things to start with server migration.

This is the explain plan, in case it gives more info:

Anyone can tell me why is this happening and if is there a solution to this?

Thank you for your time.
