Thread: Fatal error: Call to undefined function pg_connect()

This command php -i from a command prompt doesn't return any pgsql extension

What should I do to be able to call the postgres functions when using php.exe from a command line?

thanks

Any errors in apache or system logs ?

Could there be something this dll is missing? I don't know much about
windows unfortunately but this may help figure out what else you need to

When you run PHP from the command line you will be using a different
php.ini, and it's that one that you need to find and add the above line
to.

Try launching phpinfo() from a command line.

PHP -r 'phpinfo();'


Not that I've used it on Windows, but that's certainly how it works on
Linux.
