## Summary
The pgsql extension documentation references PostgreSQL versions that have been
outdated for years. The requirements page (`reference/pgsql/setup.xml`) states:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/pgsql.requirements.php
> To use PostgreSQL support, you need PostgreSQL 6.5 or later,
> PostgreSQL 8.0 or later to enable all PostgreSQL module features.
However, the actual minimum libpq versions enforced by php-src are:
| PHP version | Minimum libpq | Commit |
|---|---|---|
| PHP 8.0+ | libpq 9.1 | php/php-src@ce668c0ec6 |
| PHP 8.4+ | libpq 10.0 | php/php-src#14628 |
The "PostgreSQL 6.5" requirement has been incorrect since at least PHP 8.0.0
(released 2020-11-26), which requires libpq 9.1 via `PQlibVersion` check in
`ext/pgsql/config.m4`. As of PHP 8.4, the minimum was further raised to libpq
10.0 via `PQencryptPasswordConn` check in `build/php.m4`.
## Changes
- **setup.xml**: Update requirements to match php-src, following the same
pattern used by ext/curl and ext/openssl (per-PHP-version listing).
- **14 function pages**: Remove notes referencing PostgreSQL versions 6.3–9.0
that are no longer relevant given the libpq 10.0 minimum. These include
version-gated notes for `pg_prepare`, `pg_query_params`, `pg_execute`,
`pg_escape_string`, `pg_escape_identifier`, `pg_escape_literal`,
`pg_client_encoding`, `pg_unescape_bytea`, `pg_result_error_field`,
`pg_parameter_status`, `pg_lo_create`, `pg_version`, `pg_affected_rows`,
and the general `reference.xml`.
still using this, after discussion on the phpdoc list.
From now on, manual.ced will need to be found at ~/.phpdoc/manual.ced.

* Large rewrite of the PostgreSQL overview page. Bring it up to date and similar to the MySQL extension overview page. Remove complexities, clutter and references to truly old versions.
