Working with Windows you normally don't compile PHP but use the Win binaries. To connect to a PostgreSQL database you must uncomment the php_pgsql.dll in php.ini.

When you have postgresql support compiled into PHP, then PHP connects directly using native PostgreSQL calls (libpq), no ODBC layer to deal with. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend

Not very, I used postgres via cygwin for development for a long time. Works fine, but it's slower and not quite as stable as you would want for production purposes. > I'd like to make a drop in Apache/Postgres/PHP application on a windows > computer for someone in my organization. > > I'd PREFER to avoid ODBC if at all possible. I don't see how ODBC fits in to this at all. There is no need for ODBC if postgresql is running via cygwin, running on a remote linux box, or even native on windows. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
