what version of redhat are you using?

what version of the php rpm to do you have installed? (use 'rpm -q php'
to check)

Check that you have php working using the php_info function. Place a file
in your web area containing this:

phpinfo();
?>

If php is working it should show a bunch of info. Read about the
phpinfo() function at:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.phpinfo.php

You further need postgreSQL support. This is for the postgreSQL php
functions. It should report this on the page, under the heading pgsql.

If you don't have it, you'll have to figure out how to add it.

If postgreSQL support shows on the phpinfo output the next step is to make
a connection to the database.

At which point are you having problems? I can't help you with Red Hat as
I use Debian, but it must be similar.

Do NOT uninstall. The package you need to install is called php-pgsql.
You should be able to do a (as root of course or sudo if that is set up)

Yum install php-pgsql

Restart apache and you are good to go.

Re: Having tough time getting php working for postgresql..

Hello,

I was having trouble with setting up php-pgsql, but I think I have it
up and running. Before I attempt to move forward with attempting to
code without knowing if the environment is setup correctly, does
anybody know what exactly I am looking for in the phpinfo() tables. I
did a find for pgsql, postgre, etc. and didn't find anything.

I am running Windows XP Pro, Apache 2, PHP 5.1.1, PostgreSQL 8.0.

Thank you in advance.

Patrick

you should find "pgsql" (look at the configuration parameters in
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pgsql.php ; they should be listed)

Consult http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pgsql.php
Maybe you have to add the libary in your php.ini file

Fwd: Having tough time getting php working for postgresql..

Thank you for the quick reply. I was actually able to get it up and
running. It is always as soon as you hit the send button when the
light bulb goes off. The issue I was having was that I didn't realise
the order of which the server will look for the php.ini file (I
thought it was simply looking in the PATH directories), such as the
list I will provide for future reference:

1.PHPIniDir directive (Apache 2 module only)
2.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\IniFilePath
3. The PHPRC environment variable
4. Directory of PHP (for CLI), or the web server's directory (for
SAPI modules)
5. Windows directory (C:\windows or C:\winnt)

My problem was that Apache was set to look in a directory that
contained a completly default php.ini file.

Thanks again, and I apologize for the premature post.

Patrick

1. test for the apache test page (prior to php
install). =20
2. test that phpinfo() displays (after php install).
3. edit->find to search for "sql" until you find the
reference to postgresql. it should tell you what
version you are using. of course, this is after pgsql
has been installed.

i also discuss how to use pgadminIII to test that
pgsql is working in the link to the install
instructions i posted earlier today.

once you get everything set up, you may want to
consider a db abstraction layer (i use adodb and find
it quite robust) and a forms generation and validation
class (i use manuel lemos' from phpclasses.org). it
is also very nice.
