WTF - I have been running firebird with php5 on Linux since 11/2003.
(i.e. around the time Ard got his improved ibase/firebird extension
up and running.... knowing Ard a little I can guess that he probably got
the extension running on a variant of Linux way before he bothered to
see if it ran on Windows.)

but then its not so much a case of 'finding' a compatible extension
as it is a case of running:

./configure
make
make install

with the right configure line (assuming you build the extension at
the same time you build php.)
