How can I add PostgreSQL support in PHP bundled in XAMPP?

Question

Apache: v.2.2.14
PHP: 5.3.1
PostgreSQL: 8.4
XAMPP: version 1.7.3

Answer 1

XAMPP ships with a php_pgsql.dll/so, i.e. all you have to do is to edit the php.ini and remove the semicolon before

extension = php_pgsql.dll

and then restart the apache.
