Hello All,

Now that Mark has ported PostgreSQL, I thought I'd try to add PostgreSQL
support to his PHP 3.0.14 port of a year ago. It was a success, with little
effort and slight tweaking to the Makefile, PHP3 compiled without a hitch on
MPE with PostgreSQL support. I compiled it as a DSO so that it plugs into
WebWise for https or any other version of Apache that supports DSO's.

Once that was complete, I skimmed throught the basic steps in the PostgreSQL
documentation to create a database and then used some examples from php.net
to write the neccessary php.

I now have a html form that allows me to add entries to my PostgreSQL
database as well as a search engine to retrieve data. This all runs on the
e3000! Pretty cool stuff. In addition to all this coolness, php & PostgreSQL
support persistent connections, meaning that once you have created a few
connections to the database, these connections are kept alive in a pool for
later use. This reduces the amount of resources PostgreSQL uses at the
beginning of each request.

Just thought I'd let the e3000 world know.
