I have an Ubuntu server (LAMP)
Now I want to connect with an external firebird database. How can I do that? Can I install a firebird driver? How can I install a firebird driver?
Do I have to modify my php.ini file?
I do not use PDO
#apt-get install php5-interbase
You do not need to install firebird on local machine PHP sample code
$dbh = ibase_pconnect("remote_server_ip:db_file", "user_name", "user_password") or die('die message');
$q = ibase_query($dbh, "select * from some_table");
while ($r = ibase_fetch_object($q)) {
$some_value = $r->SOME_FIELD;
echo $some_value;
}
