I have centos 4.2, php 4.3.9, firebird.

Folow these steps:

1 - Download php sources;
2- Edit php.spec file with: --with-interbase=shared,/opt/firebird
3- Run rpmbuild --ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/php.spec
4- Copy /var/tmp/php-root/usr/lib/php4/interbase.so file to /usr/lib/php4
5 - Edit php.ini, add this line: extension = interbase.so;
6- Restart apache

I hope help you.


2006/3/30, Yiorgos Stamoulis <yiorgos-lists@272deg.homelinux.net>:
is there an easy way (yum install . . .) to add firebird/interbase
support to php ?

Everything that google came up with suggests downloading php sources and
compiling with  --with-interbase=/opt/...
I 'd rather not do this as I would like to keep php yummable

I have php php-5.0.4-5.centos4


thanx
