Enable PHP support for postgresql in Ubuntu 11.04 server
Install the php5-pgsql package solves the problem. (depending on the version ... php4-pgsql for php4)
apt-get install php5-pgsqlRemember to restart Apache.
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart--Note that it might be hard if you do not administer your server.
Currently, I am using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.Me too was facing same problem while Fetching the Postgress Database values using Php so i resolved it by using the below commands.
Mine PHP version is 7.0, so i tried the below command.
apt-get install php-pgsql
Remember to restart Apache.
/etc/init.d/apache2 restartBelow is my code , might be someone get benefited :
- testdb.php
<html> <body> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td> Friend ID </td> <td> Name </td> </tr> <?php $db = pg_connect('host=localhost dbname=postgres user=postgres password=root port=5432'); $query = "SELECT * FROM account"; //account is name of table $result = pg_query($query); if (!$result) { echo "Problem with query " . $query . "<br/>"; echo pg_last_error(); exit(); } while($myrow = pg_fetch_assoc($result)) { printf ("<tr><td>%s</td><td>%s</td></tr>", $myrow['id'], htmlspecialchars($myrow['name'])); } ?> </table> </body> </html>
The only conclusion I can come up with is that phppgadmin installed all of the needed packages to make PHP5 connect to PostgreSQL. I have looked at the dependencies, and I believe that I either didn't install them at all or didn't install them correctly.
I require no more help in this arena, as I have a working setup and know at least one method of getting to that point.
