Joey,

Postgresql is a very good database. Its got a featureset closer to
Oracle or MS SQL. But enough on database religion, and on to your
question.

If you downloaded the postgres MSI for windows.It basically just
works, and gives you  an OK gui as well as a command line utility.
Postgres should run as a service with no problems after installing the
MSI.

Then you should just be able to enable php_pgsql.dll in php.ini (its
already included in the ext folder in xampp)

I have been using XAMPP for years. unfortunately for this class the professor I have likes PostgreSQL instead of MySQL. So now I need to install PostgreSQL on my PC (XP) and my laptop (Vista) for the class. unfortunately I have never been good at installing servers and DB (thus why I have XAMPP). I was hoping someone can guide me through installing it and getting it working with the XAMPP setup
