Sorry... currently struggling with the same problem myself. :-)

This is because your php.ini is not loading the postgres database
driver. Just find your php.ini, and change the line that says:

;extension=php_pgsql.dll

to:

extension=php_pgsql.dll

(Remove the semicolon and you're golden)

After doing this you will need to restart/reload apache for the config
changes to take effect.

Note that this filename refers to Windows. Just FYI.

In my case, you've led me one step forward though. Indeed the PHP-PG
stuff is not enabled in Apache, but I'm using CPANEL (a hosting sytem)
which compiles its own Apache... and of course I don't want to break it.

I'm currently looking for ways to either enable this via CPANEL or
rebuild Apache via CPANEL to include PG functionality. Any pointers
welcome while I attempt this, too.

Cheers,

Got it! Different error now, going to another thread for clarity.
