is there any one else out there that thinks the 'or die()' error checking
method sucks? or maybe someone with real insight could explain when such a
construction is ok/valid/useful/etc...

...anyway something along the lines of:

$this->mydbhandle = ibase_connect($this->myhost,$this->myusername,$this->mypassword);
if (!is_resource($this->mydbhandle)) {
throw new Exception(ibase_errmsg());
}
