Enabling PHP

From
Paul Joseph McGee
Date:
I am trying to connect to a databse from a php script but I get the error:
Fatal error:Call to undefined function: pg_connect(). I read that from the
mailing list archives that I mustnt have compiled some package with the
postresql library. Could someone tell me how I would fix this.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi,

Yup, you're right. PHP hasn't been compiled with PostgreSQL. You need to
compile PHP again.

If any problems, check out my small tutorial -
http://designmagick.50megs.com/postgresql-tutorial/
it might help with a step missed or something like that.

Hope that helps..

If you compiled php yourself, you will have to recompile it with

--with-pgsql

On the other hand, if you installed the package that came with your
linux/unix distribution, it should also have a pgsql module for php. Try
installing it.
