IF you have apache (set up and test it) and php set up
correctly then enabling pgsql should just be a matter
of enabling extension=php_pgsql.dll in php.ini.

if that doesn't work, then apache and php aren't set
up right.

did you review the apache and php tutorials i linked
or did you just review the pgsql tutorial? i'm pretty
sure the tutorials work (the whole thing, from start
to finish) b/c i use my setup 5 days a week ;-)

i do go into detail how to ensure that winxp is able
to see all the files it needs to see in order to
function correctly.

perhaps this problem/solution will solve your issue...

The problem was finally discovered to be with
phpinidir configuration in httpd.conf. Through command
line it was working fine because php was able to find
php.ini in system directory (C:\windows), but apache
wasn't able to find php.ini and thus didn't knew if
php should use any extensions.

Thanks everyone for the help,

good luck.
