You most certainly can write enterprise scale applications in PHP/PostgreSQL. The web is littered with resources to make your life easier. For me, PHPLIB (on sourceforge) has really saved my life. It's getting a little long in the tooth and the docs are, erm, spotty. But it is definitely worth looking into. It makes sessions (which now exist in PHP4), authentication, permissions, form management, and templates almost pleasant to work with. It does more, too, but I haven't needed it.
