Thank you for your suggestion. But it don't work. By the statement
ibase_fetch_object I recieve the error "arithmetic exception, numeric
overflow or string truncation". A typical error, if the charset don't match.
The default charset in php.ini is set to UTF-8 and the charset in
ibase_connect is UTF-8. What could be wrong?
