1.5.2 is the current version, and 1.5.3 is about to be released! IB6.01
was never a stable option.

I presume that if you ADD values from PHP, then they go in correctly? So
if you put 325000 in, it reads as 325000 in PHP, but 3250000 in Delphi?

You should always use the latest gds32.dll - you ARE using the Firebird
one, and not the one supplied with PHP ( that should be removed ! )

Have you tried running ibWebAdmin on your machine and seeing what that
does. I am rushing to get out of the door to a customer's site so I
can't check myself - but I will do later !
