Hi all,
I am running on Win XP. I have installed Apache 2.2. Works fine.
I have installed php-4.4.4-Win32 manually.
Apache to php connection is working fine, I tested a couple of trivial
php scripts.
I have installed PostGreSQL v8. I can do stuff (create table, populate
data) thru pgAdminIII tool, so I think that is also fine.
I want to install phpBB. When I try to do the set up I get message
"The PHP configuration on your server doesn't support the database type
that you chose"
So it tells me the issue is with php and PGSQL, hence my question here.
I have modified php.ini to uncomment the line
extension=php_pgsql.dll
and restarted the server. No good.
I tried running this script that I copied from a site
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?>
<?php $conn = pg_connect("host=localhost port=5432 dbname=postgres
user=postgres password=mypasswd");
$sql = "SELECT current_date AS today;";
$result = pg_query($conn, $sql);
$row = pg_fetch_object($result, 0);
echo "Today is: " .$row->today;
?>
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
</body>
</html>
It prints out the Hello World line. Doesn't print the phpinfo. Nor
the current date.
Needless to say, I know no php, just want to get the bulletin board up
and running on my PC.
Could anyone tell me
a) If I still need some set-up? I see in many places that I should
compile the php source with some options to enable postgreSQL. I
really don't want to have to do this if I can avoid it
b) Anything wrong with my postgre setup? I have started the postgresql
as a service from the control panel.
c) Anything wrong with the little script above?
Thanks
