Thread: PHP and Postgresql on Windows
What would I need to do to make PHP, installed on my desktop, talk to Postgresql. I have several CDS with WAMP installs (Windows Apache Mysgl PHP). Would I use some special driver to allow PHP to connect to Postgresql? I am going to search on google as soon as I post, but just curious if someone has a word of wisdom. Thanks
Try PEAR DB. http://pear.php.net/package/DB It's a database abstraction layer, which means that you can change DB later, with less hasle. Have a look at how phpPgAdmin works. Download the source and have a look. http://phppgadmin.sourceforge.net/ On 22 Apr 2005, at 20:04, typing80wpm@aol.com wrote: > What would I need to do to make PHP, installed on my desktop, talk to > Postgresql.

If you want to use the limited feature set provided by PEAR::DB there is little point in using PostgreSQL at all. Just pick a stupid storage engine like MySQL or SQLite and go on ;)
