I'm guessing that it might mean that Heroku's PHP runtime (or the common PHP buildpack, or however it works) doesn't come with a Postgres driver.

Yonas from Leanstack here. I also edited for grammar after the initial transcription and it looks like his full statement was inaudible. So *Eric was simply saying that Heroku Postgres does not support PHP (https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-postgresql). I'll be making the corrections soon.
Are you sure? This repo suggests otherwise: https://github.com/kch/heroku-php-pg/blob/master/index.php
I don't usually carp about grammatical errors, but if you have any editorial sway, that article has one in the second word of the first sentence.

> Teespring let’s anyone easily create and sell t-shirts.

has a grocer's apostrophe on "let's". It should be "lets", sans apostrophe.

Got it, thanks. We'll have a better editorial process moving forward, sorry for the errors guys.
