Installazione

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.

Starting with PHP 7, on Ubuntu (i.e., 16+), you can run:

`sudo apt-get install php-pgsql`

On a Windows server, configured with Apache, adding the following line to httpd.conf to load libpq.dll can save you a lot of time :

LoadFile "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/libpq.dll"

Note that you will have to change your folder accordingly to the installation path and version of PostgreSQL you have installed. Also note that having Apache and PostgreSQL on the same server for production environments is not recommended.

Cheers,

if you get
/pgsql.c:789: error: 'from' undeclared (first use in this function)
etc. compiling in linux its a typo in the define of pgsql.c file

change to this
#if !HAVE_PQESCAPE_CONN
#define PQescapeStringConn(conn, to, from, len, error) PQescapeString(to, from, len)
#endif

On PHP 5.3, you may encounter this error.
    Cannot create new link. Too many open links

I did with Archlinux. pgsql.so was active.

To resolve the issue, I had to active pdo.so and pdo_pgsql.so. Hope this helps!

Windows users should be mindful that since 5.2.6 it seems that the version of php_pgsql.dll supplied is dynamically linked and requires libpq.dll.

The version supplied in 5.2.5 is statically linked and does not have this dependency, if you cannot load the Postgres extension grab php_pgsql.dll from the 5.2.5 distribution
