PostgreSQL

Synopsis

In an earlier incarnation as Postgres, the open source PostgreSQL database pioneered many of the object-relational concepts now appearing in some commercial databases. Because it is fast and provides solid transaction integrity, PostgreSQL is becoming a popular choice as a database for web servers. This extension provides support for accessing PostgreSQL databases.

To use this extension, you must install the PostgreSQL client libraries and compile PHP with the --with-pgsql[ =DIR ] directive.
