If I may add - I am a full time professional programmer - USING Clarion !
That is where I spent 18 hours a day 7 days a week.
But a need has arisen to to be able read the contents of Firebird databases
via the web - so I started of with ColdFusion - and I was very impressed -
but then I saw the price - then I investigated BlueDragon - but the free
version will not work with Firebird on Linux - so now I am here -
investigating PHP.
I am amazed that I am finding any time to spend on PHP at all!
So I need all the help I can get. Just hoping that the natives are friendly!
Greetings

I am NOT using PHP 5, so I do not know what is or isn't in its manual.

ibase_gen_id was suggested to be used to solve my problem.

I was not to know that it is PHP 5 only.

If I knew everything then I would not need [firebird-php].
If I first had to read ALL relevant manuals from cover to cover I would
not
have time to earn a living.
Over at the Clarion NG's they are a lot more charitable.
Who may or may not post here, then?
For a newbie I did a bit of allright by taking mysql/php sample code and
getting it to work with Firebird.
And with the help of [firebird-php]
If I irritate you then just ignore me - but I DO NOT need to get "RTFM" as
advise.
I would rather give up PHP!
Greetings

Of course not, but the manual header says:
ibase_gen_id
(PHP 5)
ibase_gen_id -- Increments the named generator and returns its new value

I'm FB newbie as well, but It's good to see manual before flood
mailinglist I think.
