I just installed Apache 2.2.11 and downloaded the zip for PHP5.2.9-2

I uncommented

extension=php_pdo_pgsql.dll

and

extension=php_pgsql.dll

But when I call the phpinfo() function, postgresql is not showing up. What am I forgetting?

Also, on the PHP site, I found this:

In order to enable PostgreSQL support, --with-pgsql[=DIR] is required when you compile PHP. DIR is the PostgreSQL base install directory, defaults to /usr/local/pgsql. If shared object module is available, PostgreSQL module may be loaded using extension directive in php.ini or dl() function. I recognise that this is ment for Linux, but is there something written here, telling me to do something I've forgotten?

  • No. But that's not even needed. phpinfo() shows the info of the DLL's it finds, no of installed database systems. Commented May 17, 2009 at 1:37

Reset to default

In your php.ini make sure that the extension_dir directive is pointing to the folder that contains the php_pgsql.dll file.

Also check your HTTP error log for errors.

Didn't do that yet. I've now set the extension_dir to "C:\php\ext", but no effect yet. Gonna go check those logs.

Did you restart Apache after making changes to your php.ini? The PHP module in Apache wont pickup changes until a restart is performed.

I know, most basic of things.

You still need the 'client library' portion of pgsql in order to load php_pgsql.dll or php_pdo_pgsql.dll. Also, for future reference, you can use a tool like Dependency Walker to load the PHP dll files and see the missing runtime linkage.
