"PHP compatible ODBC product" is incorrect.  ODBC is a database
abstraction interface.  That is, client apps like PHP can talk to it
without knowing anything about the backend database.  So PHP can talk to a
MS SQL server, an Oracle server, and a PostgreSQL server without changing
its code (other than to change where it's connecting to).  PHP has an ODBC
interface, so it will (should) work with all database backends with ODBC
drivers.

ODBC drivers are clearly not in a web frontend's space.  That's in
database space.  Remember, ODBC drivers are database-specific...

The question is:  does PostgreSQL have an ODBC driver?  Does MySQL?  I'm
pretty sure PostgreSQL does, not sure about MySQL.
