Brian,
I probably won't be the only one to point this out, but there *is* a
phpPgAdmin - check out:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phppgadmin/
I haven't tried it yet myself, but just a week ago I was as surprised
as you must be now to hear about it.
It's at v2.4.2 as of this past July.
It seems there's no shortage of PostgreSQL tools, just a shortage of
publicity for them - even Pg fans like you and I are just finding out
about these now, while phpMyAdmin seems to get an article a week.
That's definitely something we can change with advocacy and
promotion.
Thanks,
