ibase_timefmt() was simply dropped? This change will probably break
compatibility with lots of other systems (like ADODB in this case).
Commenting out the call to ibase_timefmt() in adodb-ibase.inc.php
realy solved the problem, but what about othr libraries or
applications that use the call?

Thanks for the response,
