PHP 5.8 -> Postgres on Win2003

Hi all,

Is anyone successfully using PHP 5.8 to talk to PostgreSQL on Windows
Server 2003?

I tried upgrading today from 5.1.4 to 5.8 - I had avoided upgrading for
a while due to a known bug in the PG extension - but it seems that
either the extension is still buggy or I'm doing something silly,
because any call to a pg_* function results in "Call to undefined
function" messages in the log.

I've rolled back to 5.1.4 for the moment, but obviously this isn't
ideal...any input welcome!

Thanks,

Ray.

Correction - that should of course be PHP 5.2.8  :-)

You haven't got the pgsql extension loaded. You'll need to copy your
changes from the 5.1.4 php.ini file to the 5.2.8 php.ini (and restart
the webserver if applicable).

Chris, thanks for the reply. That was the first thing I thought of... I
did in fact copy the entire php.ini file from the old installation to
the new one, and double-checked that the line "extension=php_pgsql.ini"
was uncommented.

The new installation is also in the same place as the old one, so the
registry key to tell PHP where to find php.ini didn't have to be changed.

I'm really puzzled by this one.

Ray.

An extension will either be a .so or .dll won't it? Or will this syntax
include an external file ? (I've never seen it used so I don't know what
it does). If it's an extra file, did you copy it? :)

Anything in the logs about being unable to locate extensions?
