Hi Nenden

One thing that I did to get the blob functionality working was to use
the code from an older version which worked and is mainly to do with the
fact that the blob id's are not being returned correctly.

The latest release of PHP should be 5.3.0 and I have put my modified
PHP ext code for interbase here:

http://spiceware.co.za/interbase.tar.gz

You will need to extract this to the ext folder - replacing the current
interbase, I using it on a production system successfully with PHP 5.30
and Firebird 2

I would like to know if you were successful in implementing this.

P.S. this will require that you compile the PHP module yourself and not
use a stock Centos PHP version.

Yours sincerely
