I’d like to have some text follow a nice curve that i made with the pen tool.

Is this possible in Photoshop? or Would I have to use illustrator?

It seems odd that there is not snap to path option for text, or am i just missing it?

Thanks for your time,

You would have to use Illustrator or something like it (Freehand, CorelDraw, etc.)

yip it is possible, but with patience
using one character at a time
i have a tut here that uses the circular path, and the same freetransform technique applies to ne path

Yes. I use PS for what it’s good at – image manipulation, and then export to Fireworks for anything like that. And especially web stuff. You need your head examined if you use IR. 😉
