AFAIK, there's nothing diferent between Firebird and InterBase in what those
functions do, so you can use those ibase_* functions without any problems. I
have few working web aplications that use Firebird + PHP + Apache without
any problems so far, with all those ibase_* functions working properly.

I only encountered one problem: when I run php script from shell... and if
the script uses interbase functions, then I always get segmentation fault
(and a core dump) at the end of execution... very strange. When running
through Apache, everything seems to be ok.
