The builds need to be VC9 for PHP5.3,
http://download.anindya.com/apache/apache_2.2.21-x86-no-ssl.msi should work with
http://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/php-5.3.8-Win32-VC9-x86.msi

The 32 bit setups are on XP and W2k ...
5.2.8 at present, Anindya only ships the 64bit PHP builds when they are released
and I prefer to keep to the same version everywhere.

Does php_interbase.dll load? You need the client from that in the right place
for either of the firebird drivers to load.
