ADOdb (http://adodb.org) has seen something of a revival and supports
firebird amongst a range of other databases. The problem is that many
frameworks switched too early from ADOdb to PDO thinking it was going to
be better, and then found they could not even run Postgres in parallel
with MySQL so took the easy option and ended up 'single database' :(

I use a system called Bitweaver which is based on ADOdb for the database
abstraction, and I have a couple of 'restorations' of frameworks such as
PHPGEDView which are running ADOdb rather than PDO. Also there is a
driver for Zend ... or at least there was ... been I while since I
played with it as I dropped the frameworks I was trying to make work
with it. Not enough hours in the day! PDO was never the right 'solution'
to the database abstraction problem :(

With Firebird being supported by Libreoffice I am hopeful that there
will be some cross fertilization into other areas. A Firebird port of
Wordpress was being worked on at one time, but the core stuff there is
rather too reliant on MySQL these days and any remnants of an
abstraction layer are difficult to find.
