The previous version of the mod_php package included a very old version
of rebase that corrupted pq.dll (and possibly other DLLs).  You will
have to reinstall PostgreSQL (and possibly other packages) to recover.

The above is a known issue.  My suggestion is to reinstall 7.2 (which
will fix pq.dll), do a pg_dump, reinstall 7.3, and then do a pg_restore.
