Subject Re: [Firebird-general] Firebird do you hear the cries of your PHP users?

Bottom line ...

Things are under control.

On the TODO list

There has been a request to produce a .phpt version of
http://fbexport.sourceforge.net/ibtest.php.txt which can be added to the test
bed. The 'bug' that these tests show has been fixed in 5.3.0 and the tests now
run clean.

The four current bugs are not as bad as they look. First and fourth are the
same bug. Third bug can be ignored as it relates to using the wrong libraries.
And the second bug has not been recreated but my again be due to the problems
that crept in to BLOB_ID and which just the 64bit builds are left to be fixed.

That just leaves the difficult one. What DO we need to add - if anything - to
support FB2.1. I am more than happy with what we currently have and why there
seem no reason to spend any time on 'development' because there is nothing to
develop? There has been a discussion that fbclient will be supported at some
point with a separate module just for Firebird, but that will probably not
happen in PHP5.3.
