No it isn't. Postgres should be accessible via PHP whether it's on the
same server or on a remote server (and Postgres is configured to allow
remote access). The only reason I can guess as to why ODBC is being used
is to perhaps maintain code compatibility with the use of a different
databse platform that the web server may have been using previously.
