PHP, PostGresQL and WinNT

[avickers]

Hi,

I've d/loaded and (finally) got pgSQL going on my NT4 box. I've had PHP3 working under IIS for a few weeks (I'm not going to PHP4 yet, as my webhost hasn't).

Until now, I've been developing my PHP DB stuff using Micro$oft SQL Server, then "porting" it to PostGresQL using a small library of "intelligent" database functions.

What I'd like to do now is use my pgSQL server on NT so I don't have to keep doing this conversion - it's not that awkward, but occasionally I slip up and try to execute something M$SQL specific which won't work on pgSQL - result, falling over website, and I don't find out until I've already uploaded it, much to my embarrasment.

However - I discover that the version of PHP I've got doesn't come with a file php_pgsql.dll - so I don't have the pg_ functions!

AAARGH!

Does someone have a copy of this DLL, or can I compile it myself - and if so where is the source?

All help appreciated.

Cheers,
Ade.

I have php_pgsql, but you will need to compile it, give me your e-mail address and i will send it to you cuz it is a cvs version, and the most upto date. When you have compiled it could you send me the file cuz i cant compile it.

cheers

Sure - my e-mail address is [e-mail]

I'll try to compile it - but since I'll be using gcc under cygwin, no guarantees. If it comes with makefiles, that will probably help...

Cheers,

Is there a true PG for Win32? So I don't have to use Cygwin.

[avickers]

There is, and I used to have a copy, but I couldn't get it to work even slightly. The postmaster process simply wouldn't start 🙁

Cheers,

Where did you get it?

[avickers]

I don't remember, I'm afraid.

I'll go looking tonight.

Cheers,
Ade.
