History of Coding - Firebird PHP Drivers

The old business site has a recent page about Firebird PHP Test Script ibtest which also details details some of the fun with the firebird drivers for php. There are currently 3 active ones. The PDO driver which is back in the php.net tree, the generic driver which is on github (php-firebird) and an alternate generic driver which has an OO user interface which is also on github (firebird-php). I'm currently using the php-firebird build direct from github rather than my home build, just to keep things tidy, so I can document easier how to build a modern LNFP stack ( Linux, Nginx, Firebird, PHP ).

In order to test that Firebird is running OK, I've finally sorted the old ibtest script and modernised it to include INT128 numbers ibtest.php Script File. There is a copy running on this site as a demo and I've even managed to configure a DEMO user and role for it which is what was holding me up on the lsces.uk site.

I need to tdiy the pdo driver to the same standard along with ibtest_pdo.php, but that has been running fine for a while. In addition I need to return to laravel, not that I really want to, but it turns out that is what replaced ADOdb in the webtrees website, so it looks as if I need to get laravel-firebird or some other option if I want the genealogical data to be in the same database as the rest of the content. I really do find laravel just too cumbersome and perhaps has just too many layers. While I have a copy of webtrees running here, it's just using an sqlite table for the indexing lookups. I have perhaps not totally given up on phpgedview, but short term the webtrees version is running in parallel.
