With much support from the group I have been able to install postgresql.
apache-php3-1.3.4 was installed with FreeBSD 3.1 from the wccdrom 4 cd set.
I have also been able to access my postgres databases via pgaccess.
Now that I have most of the pieces installed, I have tried to connect to my pg
database using php from within a web page.
Within my simple page I have the following script.
<?php
echo "In Php<br>";
$db = pg_connect("","","","mydb");
$dbName = pg_dbname($db);
echo $dbName , "\n";
?>
Accessing this page in my browser gives
============
In Php
Fatal error: Call to unsupported or undefined function pg_connect() in
/usr/local/www/data/php1.php3 on line 9.
============
This appears to me that the php module does not have pg db connection compiled
in.
My guess is that the php module needs to be compiled with a pg_ functions
library or
that there is a seperate module to allow php to access pg databases.
Can someone explain the fundamentals here to me. I would really like to
understand
what is going on.
To upgrade this, I have collected the following files.
apache-php3-1.3.4.tgz (wccdrom)
apache-1.3.6.tar.gz
php-3.0.7.tar.gz
It doesn't matter to me if I install apache 1.3.6 or 1.3.4. However, I would
like php and pgsql to be
installed as a module.
I have spent several hours reading docs, but installing apache+php+pgsql is
proving to be elusive.
Thanks for any help.
