It looks like what you're looking for is a PHP based admin tool...try 
phpPgAdmin at http://phpwizard.net ...
Maybe I'm mistakem, but try these queries:
for databases
select datname from pg_database;
for tables
select relname, relkind from pg_class where relname not like 'pg_%' and 
relkind='r';
for indicies
select relname from pg_class where relname not like 'pg_%' and 
relkind='i';
for sequences
select relname from pg_class where relname not like 'pg_%' and 
relkind='S';
for users
select * from pg_user;
I think that you will consider it useful.
