Reiner, If you put this command in a .php document, such as test.php, it will disclose all the modules compiled into PHP: <?php phpinfo() ?> Should you find that your PHP installation does not have support for PostgreSQL, consider downloading and installing a specially compiled versions of PHP for MacOS X.
