PHP 7.0.6 Released

Firebird Functions (PDO_FIREBIRD)

Introduction

PDO_FIREBIRD is a driver that implements the PHP Data Objects (PDO) interface to enable access from PHP to Firebird database.

Installation

Use --with-pdo-firebird[=DIR] to install the PDO Firebird extension, where the optional [=DIR] is the Firebird base install directory.

$ ./configure --with-pdo-firebird

Predefined Constants

The constants below are defined by this driver, and will only be available when the extension has been either compiled into PHP or dynamically loaded at runtime. In addition, these driver-specific constants should only be used if you are using this driver. Using driver-specific attributes with another driver may result in unexpected behaviour. PDO::getAttribute() may be used to obtain the PDO_ATTR_DRIVER_NAME attribute to check the driver, if your code can run against multiple drivers.

PDO::FB_ATTR_DATE_FORMAT (integer)

Available since PHP 5.3.0.

Sets the date format.

PDO::FB_ATTR_TIME_FORMAT (integer)

Sets the time format.

Available since PHP 5.3.0.

PDO::FB_ATTR_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT (integer)

Sets the timestamp format.

Available since PHP 5.3.0.

You need to set:
    setAttribute(PDO::FB_ATTR_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT, '%s')
for timestamp values

After two days of trouble with no visibile issues, when rebooting the system two popups come up:

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'c:/wamp/bin/php/php.5.3.13/ext/php_interbase.dll' - %1 non è un'applicazione di Win32 valida.

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'c:/wamp/bin/php/php.5.3.13/ext/php_pdo_firebird.dll' - %1 non è un'applicazione di Win32 valida.

I've just re-installed wampserver (http://www.wampserver.com/en/) and all seems run well.

To see if your Firebird PDO driver runs well:

<?php
foreach(PDO::getAvailableDrivers() as $driver) {
  echo
$driver.'<br />';
}
?>

The connection string for a firebird PDO connection is different than described above. It is something like:

$DB = new PDO("firebird:dbname=T:\\Klimreg.GDB", "SYSDBA", "masterkey");

after dbname= the default connection string for Interbase and Firebird databases is used as presented to either gds32.dll or fbclient.dll.
