We recently purchased Dreamweaver MX and I was a little surprised to
find that one of its pre-defined scripting systems is PHP + MySQL. I
haven't done much exploring of what is actually offered but wondered
whether any one had tried to convince Macromedia to provide a PHP +
PostgreSQL or at least a PHP + anydb.
If the support for MySQL is in the form of an Extension, is there a
PostgreSQL equivalent as I have been contacted by one of our clients who
has said, "Do we povide MySQL ?", we dont. "Oh! I am teaching myself PHP
+ MySQL using Dreamweaver and I wanted you to host the site" :-(
I use PHP + PosgreSQL alot. I'd love to be able to help people who have
the impression that MySQL is all there is !! When the toolset they have
only mentions MySQL it is easy to understand how they come to that
conclusion.

PHP has a shortcoming of NOT having a unified interface to "any" DB. MySQL
uses one set of function calls, while PgSQL another. Yes, of course they
could add support for another (very popular) DB. But I'd rather feel out
their support for JSP/JDBC, which should be in :-)

The only unified interface offered by PHP, that I know of, is ODBC. I know
there are build options to fuse some Java support in, but that is, IMHO, a
waste of time and effort - not to mention resources.

Sounds like PHP needs something similar to DBD for Perl.

True, you need to change commands at PHP, while DBD requires only the change
of a parameter.
Doing what he has to do, OP might try to use the standard binary
distribution of PHP at http://www.php.net/downloads.php -PHP does offer
PG-support through an extention module- and use a PHP extension for
Macromedia Dreamweaver MX from http://www.interakt.ro/products/PHAkt/
Just for what it might be worth,

Is PEAR standardized and present by default? If not, then Macromedia has no
reason to support anything from it. This doesn't mean that your code is
bad - it is most likely the opposite.

PHP also has a module called dbx that allows you to do this as well. It
has some serious performance advantages over the PEAR library because it
is a module (written in C) rather than a bunch of PHP classes.
More on dbx here: http://ca.php.net/manual/en/ref.dbx.php
