odbc in postgresql and php
Hello everyone,
Has anyone installed the postgres php driver. I would like to know how
to install it on Linux and then what the proper way to access it is from
a php web page. I have been unable to find actual code for php and
doing this. Please help. Thanks.

Almost any version of Linux will have packaged versions of PostgreSQL,
PHP and the libraries to connect the two. The pg_xxx functions are
documented in the manuals and more recent versions have database
wrappers in the Pear addon repository.
Does that help at all?
Oh - I'm not clear on what ODBC has to do with this.

ODBC has nothing to do with this -- you compile postgreSQL support directly into PHP when you configure PHP just before the install...
./Configure --with-postgres --without-mysql
After that -- you need to join a PHP newsgroup for PHP questions....
