This one is fairly direct: When you connect to Postgres, you connect to a
particular database within that install's set. You can drop any database
you aren't connected to, but not the one you *are* connected to. (What
would you be connected to then?)

You'll need to log in to a different database to drop that database. In
psql you can ask what databases there are with '\l' and swich using '\c'.
I don't know the commands in phppgadmin, but they are there somewhere I'm
sure.
