OK, I added the line:

extension=interbase.so

in the
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Dynamic Extensions ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
section, just like the example there.

Now I get this. :(

Your php installation misses the interbase support!
Recompile php and configure --with-interbase[=DIR]
or edit your php.ini to load interbase.so respectively interbase.dll.

So where do I get this interbase.so file? It doesn't come with
interbase or firebird, that I can see.

Cheers.

Scott.
