PHP 5 & Postgres on Windows

I am trying something new - and failing so far.

I can get PHP and MySQL working on Apache 2 on an XP machine.

Try postgres - using phpPgAdmin as the initial application - not trying to test
with my own code.

I get an error -

Your PHP installation does not support PostgreSQL. You need to recompile PHP
using the --with-pgsql configure option.

Now I installed the latest windows "complete" version of PHP, and uncommented
the pgsql.dll line in the config. No joy.

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

Does phpinfo() list the module? Assume Apache's been restarted and the
..ini changes were made to the .ini file listed in phpinfo....

No - Yes and yes.

Although the pgsql.dll file is included in the package in the \ext directory,
mysql loads its dll in the PHP root directory. Moving that to the ./ext
directory breaks MySQL but Postgres appears in the phpinfo() modules.

Solution is a kludge at present - If I move the pgsql.dll file to the php root,
and leave the php.ini directive as -- extension_dir = "./".

Both work with this configuration...

Thanks for the help.
