Обсуждение: Ubuntu 18 + PHP 8.2 + PDO: can't find drivers

The need has mostly passed (I used another computer with Ubuntu 20) but are there clear, *working* instructions for how
toconnect to Postgress on Ubuntu 18 via PDO? I don't see drivers that would work. This is for a Drupal site.

1) I'm assuming that when you refer to Ubuntu 18 and 20 you mean 18.04 
LTS and 20.04 LTS. Is that correct?

2) What Postgres version?

3) What did you try?

Yes, you need to add the key first - I think the instructions are on the 
website - not in a position to check just now.
