PHP to Postgres - Fatal error: Call to undefined function pg_connect()

I've just set Postgres up on my Mac (El Capitan) and I am trying to connect to it via PHP... however, when I submit a sample form, I get "Fatal error: Call to undefined function pg_connect()". I've been researching this on Stack (which is how I got this far), but I'm not sure where I need to go from here.

Here's how I've put this together so far...

I'm not sure if it's helpful here or not, but here's the PHP...

$name = $_POST['name'];
$species = $_POST['species'];

$conn = pg_connect("host=localhost dbname=menagerie user=root password=****");
pg_query($conn, "INSERT INTO pet (name, species) VALUES ('$name', '$species')");

What have I overlooked? Thanks very much.

Well, I don't know if this is the best solution, but I updated my PHP to version 5.6 and that took care of it.

Hope that is helpful.
