Be sure to have the libpq.dll in your PATH or the current dir:


c:\test\538ts>php -d extension_dir=ext -d extension=php_pgsql.dll -m | find 
"pgsql"
pgsql


works just fine (libpq.dll being in the current dir).

That's strange! Running php from command line works fine. The problem occurs when using php as an Apache module.

Apache's error.log:

Apache starts, but PostgreSQL doesnt appear in phpinfo().

I have libpq.dll in PATH.

That's why I said "in your PATH", or where the other apache DLLs are. See the 
apache's documentation (php manual or apache's) for more info.
