History of Coding - Firebird PHP Drivers
<p>The old business site has a recent page about <a href="https://lsces.uk/wiki/Firebird+PHP+Test+Script+ibtest">Firebird PHP Test Script ibtest</a> 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 <a href="https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/php-firebird">which is on github</a> (php-firebird) and an alternate generic driver which has an OO user interface <a href="https://github.com/mlazdans/firebird-php">which is also on github</a> (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 ). </p>
<p>In order to test that Firebird is running OK, I've finally sorted the old ibtest script and modernised it to include INT128 numbers <a href="https://lsces.uk/storage/extras/ibtest.php.script">ibtest.php Script File</a>. There is a copy running on <a href="/ibtest.php">this site as a demo</a> 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.</p>
<p>I need to tdiy the pdo driver to the same standard along with <a href="https://lsces.uk/storage/extras/ibtest_pdo.php.script">ibtest_pdo.php</a>, but that has been running fine for a while. In adition I need </p>
