I have changed the code accordingly:

$MyHost = 'localhost:D:\Projects\CreativeInfo\Data\Data.FDB' ;
$MyUsername = 'sysdba' ;
$MyPassword = 'masterkey' ;
$MyDBHandle = ibase_connect($MyHost,$MyUsername,$MyPassword) or die('error
in db connect') ;
$MyDBQuery = ibase_prepare($MyDBHandle,$SQLStatement) or die(ibase_errmsg());
$MyDBDataset = ibase_execute($MyDBQuery) or die(ibase_errmsg());

It then throws the following error message :

Warning: ibase_connect() [function.ibase-connect]: Unable to complete
network request to host "localhost". Failed to locate host machine.
Undefined service gds_db/tcp. in D:\Projects\Webpage\Documents\Tester3.php
on line 154
error in db connect

But I can ping localhost without any problems. What else could be wrong ?
