I have even gone further back now to 5.2.17 and am getting exactly the same challenges as in 5.3.13, where Apache starts fine and records no error yet Interbase extension is not loaded. When I change again to 5.3.8 Apache fails to start because it can't load php_interbase.dll. In case you are wondering I have engaged someone else to ensure that when I change versions the correct php_interbase.dll is copied, "extension=php_interbase.dll" is uncommented, and that Apache gets restarted after each change. Moreover, phpinfo() always reflects the correct php.ini even if it in "C:\Windows" or in "C:\Program Files\PHP".

I suspect this has to do with Windows Server 2003 but do not have enough technical know-how to be sure. I'm saying this because I have never had a problem setting up Php & Firebird on any Windows version. I admit that I could be completely wrong.

I have gone back to Php-5.3.8 and at least something is happening now, though still bad news. Apache fails to load php_interbase.dll and displays error "The requested operation has failed". I have made sure to put the correct version of php_interbase.dll. I have to uncomment "extension=php_interbase.dll" for the Apache to start. Any assistance?

So you get the php.ini location at "C:\Program Files\PHP" by searching
Windows? If yes, that's may not relects the right location.

Access your phpinfo() and find this text and paste here:

"Configuration File (php.ini) Path" mine in Windows is "C:\Windows"
"Loaded Configuration File" mine in Windows is
"D:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\bin\php.ini"

When Apache find php.ini and not find the file, PHP will use their default
configuration in system without load it and there will be no error.

So, if you get "Configuration File (php.ini) Path" is "C:\Windows", copy
your php. ini to "C:\Windows", restart Apache, and see what happen.
