What I meant by that is the dll files (for Mysql and Postgres) get automatically copied into the extension folder when you run the msi file. But with Firebird you have to do it manually. This means that Mysql and Postgres developers can use the installer only and they are good to go but we (Firebird users) can't.

Could that be the reason php_interbase.dll is not part of the installer package? Could it be that Firebird experts don't wanna get involved in Php development? Someone please help me understand.
