PostgreSQL not showing up on phpconfig() function(on windows)

Question

I just installed Apache 2.2.11 and downloaded the zip for PHP5.2.9-2

I uncommented

extension=php_pdo_pgsql.dll

and

extension=php_pgsql.dll

But when I call the phpinfo() function, postgresql is not showing up. What am I forgetting?

Also, on the PHP site, I found this:

In order to enable PostgreSQL support, --with-pgsql[=DIR] is required when you compile PHP. DIR is the PostgreSQL base install directory, defaults to /usr/local/pgsql. If shared object module is available, PostgreSQL module may be loaded using extension directive in php.ini or dl() function. I recognise that this is ment for Linux, but is there something written here, telling me to do something I've forgotten?

Answer 1

In your php.ini make sure that the extension_dir directive is pointing to the folder that contains the php_pgsql.dll file.

Also check your HTTP error log for errors.

Answer 2

Did you restart Apache after making changes to your php.ini? The PHP module in Apache wont pickup changes until a restart is performed.

Answer 3

You still need the 'client library' portion of pgsql in order to load php_pgsql.dll or php_pdo_pgsql.dll. Also, for future reference, you can use a tool like Dependency Walker to load the PHP dll files and see the missing runtime linkage.

Answer 4

I had the same problem, searched over internet for nearly a day, still can't fix it.

Answer 5

Anyone have a solution to this, I have having the exact same problem. I have searched everywhere and still no solution.
