Is anybody using ibase_service stuff with the php_interbase driver? I'm
hapy with flamerobin on the side, so I've not looked at it, but as SanTa
has pointed out on the PHP list, if you don't have access to use that or
know some of the configuration on the web server, then the PHP driver
may be the only way to access these things :(
