The PostgreSQL documentation is quite good and it has a tutorial:

Have a quick look on these documents:

The PEAR::DB [1] documentation (sorted by version)
http://pear.php.net/package/DB/docs

A short primer to PEAR::DB (a very good starting point):
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2001/11/29/peardb.html

Combining PEAR::DB with Smarty [2]:

[1]: PEAR is a collection of PHP classes. It can save a lot of time and
headache browsing through their collection. PEAR::DB is one of them which is
used to distanciate the programming from the underlying database. It works in
general, but as it seems, the DB->lastID function is not working for
PostgreSQL (yet). Support is planned afaik. For now I use PostgreSQL's
"SELECT last_id ..." for that matter. If you have root access to your
web-sever you might be able to install DB using the command "pear install
DB", or if necessacry do a "pear upgrade".

[2]: Smarty is a template engine for PHP. It is used to separate the business
logic (the programming bit in php) from the presentation layer (the
html/css/... part). VERY useful!

The documentation at postgresql.org is excellent.  I'd use that.  As
for php.  Try phpbuilder.com.  They also have very active forums for
any problems you might have.
