The "official" version of what Anderson had already said can be found here: http://www.firebirdfaq.org/faq191/ .
Last week I installed for the first time firebird support for php on a CentOS 5.3 with an existing Firebird 2.1.2 and PHP 5.1.6, all of them were 64 bit version, so if you need the interbase.so file I can give it to you.
