Yes, I'm absolutely sure.
I use PHP 5.2.11, and this is the output of a test page:

This is the original SQL statement:string(63) "select * from hotsys where alrend= :alrend and moddat = :moddat"
This is the SQL I post to ibase_prepare:string(51) "select * from hotsys where alrend= ? and moddat = ?"
These are var_dump()s of ibase_param_info results:
array(10) {
[0]=>
string(0) ""
["name"]=>
string(0) ""
[1]=>
string(0) ""
["alias"]=>
string(0) ""
[2]=>
string(0) ""
["relation"]=>
string(0) ""
[3]=>
string(1) "3"
["length"]=>
string(1) "3"
[4]=>
string(7) "VARCHAR"
["type"]=>
string(7) "VARCHAR"
}
array(10) {
[0]=>
string(0) ""
["name"]=>
string(0) ""
[1]=>
string(0) ""
["alias"]=>
string(0) ""
[2]=>
string(0) ""
["relation"]=>
string(0) ""
[3]=>
string(1) "8"
["length"]=>
string(1) "8"
[4]=>
string(9) "TIMESTAMP"
["type"]=>
string(9) "TIMESTAMP"
}
