Hi All,
I'm trying to get xampp working, but I'm getting the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function pg_connect()
I've checked php.ini to uncomment the lines:
extension=php_pdo_pgsql.dll
extension=php_pgsql.dll
but I still don't get it to work.
I using windows 7 64bits.
I've downloaded the latest available version of Xampp for Windows: v1.7.4
Also, when I check phpinfo() I don't see postgre loaded. I've tested loading other extensions, and they work, but not the one i need.
Would anybody know how to solve this?
Thanks!

Check the phpinfo again. Check the location of the loaded php.ini. I dont have any experience with xampp but with wamp the php.ini is generated in different place and the default location of php.ini is not used.

The php.ini is working fine, because I have modified something else and the modification worked..
One person suggested me that it might have to do with the fact that I'm using a 64bit machine, and the pg dll might not work with that. What do you think?
Thank you!

I cant really say because I'm more comfortable with *NIX servers and haven't used xampp. I think it should log something to error log if it cant start the extension. What kind of info you get in the log when you start services?

Hey, thanks for your help!
I actually downloaded the previous version of Xampp and it worked. I read a post somewhere where lots of people were complaining about it, and they all were saying that they had a 64bit machine and that the other version worked. so i tried and it worked!
Cheers
