1. test for the apache test page (prior to php
install).
2. test that phpinfo() displays (after php install).
3. edit->find to search for "sql" until you find the
reference to postgresql. it should tell you what
version you are using. of course, this is after pgsql
has been installed.

i also discuss how to use pgadminIII to test that
pgsql is working in the link to the install
instructions i posted earlier today.

once you get everything set up, you may want to
consider a db abstraction layer (i use adodb and find
it quite robust) and a forms generation and validation
class (i use manuel lemos' from phpclasses.org) it
is also very nice.
