Thank you for the quick reply. I was actually able to get it up and running. It is always as soon as you hit the send button when the light bulb goes off. The issue I was having was that I didn't realise the order of which the server will look for the php.ini file (I thought it was simply looking in the PATH directories), such as the list I will provide for future reference: 1.PHPIniDir directive (Apache 2 module only) 2.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\IniFilePath 3. The PHPRC environment variable 4. Directory of PHP (for CLI), or the web server's directory (for SAPI modules) 5. Windows directory (C:\windows or C:\winnt) My problem was that Apache was set to look in a directory that contained a completly default php.ini file. Thanks again, and I apologize for the premature post.

Consult http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pgsql.php Maybe you have to add the libary in your php.ini file kind regards janning
