OK, I found it, have to compile PHP regardless, just don't install it.

So the complete answer (Linux RPM world) would be:

Get the PHP source from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

untar it:
tar xvfz php-*.tar.gz

cd to the untared base dir:
cd php-4*

compile it with ib support:
./configure --with-interbase=shared,/opt/interbase

make

cp the module to /usr/lib/php4:

cp modules/interbase.so /usr/lib/php4

Add the line:
extension=interbase.so

to the /etc/php.ini file in the Dynamic Extentions section

Now it should just work.

So close. Now I can run ibWebAdmin-0.91. I can create new database
but it will not stay connected. I'm using Mozilla 1.4 on the
localhost. Mozilla gives a popup saying the page contained no data.

Anyone run across this problem before?

Cheers.

Scott.
