Thanks Lester for your reply.

I'd be happy just to use the php_interbase, which is installed, but I'm not able to insert data into a table from an HTML form with PHP5. The following code, which is a slight variation from code that works with sqlite3, doesn't work, no matter how I tinker with it.
----------------------------------------------------------
<?php
// Fill in the values entered in the HTML fields
$club_code = $_POST['club_code'];
$club_name = $_POST['club_name'];
$address_1 = $_POST['address_1'];
$address_2 = $_POST['address_2'];
$address_3 = $_POST['address_3'];
$address_4 = $_POST['address_4'];
$post_code = $_POST['post_code'];

// Insert some data into table CLUB
if (isset($club_code) && isset($club_name) == true) {
try {

// Create a prepared statement

$stmt = $dbh->ibase_prepare('INSERT INTO club (CLUB_CODE, CLUB_NAME, ADDRESS_1, ADDRESS_2, ADDRESS_3, ADDRESS_4, POST_CODE)
VALUES (:CLUB_CODE, :CLUB_NAME,
:ADDRESS_1, :ADDRESS_2, :ADDRESS_3, :ADDRESS_4, :POST_CODE)');
$stmt->bindparam(':CLUB_CODE', $club_code);
$stmt->bindParam(':CLUB_NAME', $club_name);
$stmt->bindParam(':ADDRESS_1', $address_1);
$stmt->bindParam(':ADDRESS_2', $address_2);
$stmt->bindParam(':ADDRESS_3', $address_3);
$stmt->bindParam(':ADDRESS_4', $address_4);
$stmt->bindParam(':POST_CODE', $post_code);

$stmt->ibase_execute() or die(ibase_errmsg());
$stmt->ibase_commit() or die(ibase_errmsg());
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
die ($e);
}
}
else
echo "Not ready!";
?>
----------------------------------------------------------
Any pointers, clues or suggestions would be appreciated.
