Dear Kumar, Glad to see you have an interest in the Open Source software community. Keep it up! The only thing I can find about this is acquiring a unix emulator for windows and running postgres on that. If you head to postgresql.org right now, you can take part in a survey that asks what would attract the most new PostgreSQL users. The first radio box is Win32 Port. There is plenty of ODBC support from PostgreSQL, though. So it looks like two choices at the moment for you: 1) Install PostgreSQL on a *nix box and connect with your XP/PHP --or-- 2) Try and lobby for an XP/Win32 port. Have you tried other lists or resources? If so, please let us know.

Below are 2 links on how to install PostgreSQL on Windows. You first have to install cygwin, a unix emulation layer. The process is lengthy, but it works. See:

Try to download CYGWIN and use its Postgres, its Apache and its PHP implementation ... If I'm not too mistaken there's no Postgres for Windows available.
