oh dear nevermind - I'm an idiot (I had the fieldname setup in my dataclass as a totally different
field for starters - obviously you get an error if you try and dump and int into a varchar !!!)

forgive me it's friday :-)

ps - Ard, I tried to cc you the original email - but I wrote an incorrect email addr -
I was wondering if you could tell me if/what anything needs doing with regard to the
source code of the ibase extension see:

http://cvs.php.net/co.php/php-src/ext/interbase/ibase_query.c?r=1.21.2.1#575

if you recall we had a look at this together last to you came round. thanking you for your
input/time/42s

rgds,
Jochem
