For PHP, I think there are some libraries, but I know only one: AdoDB.
While I don't do any php myself, a colleague of me, who does our
website, uses AdoDB and it works with both, InterBase and Firebird.

It's very easy to use, has a , and can be found at:
http://php.weblogs.com/ADODB
(Requires PHP4 to work)

Other way (if you have a win-box to server http) is to stil use Delphi
and IBObjects and the included IB_PageProducer. To get great tutorials
on Delphi-Based CGI and ISAPI, see Shiv Kumar's site on
http://www.matlus.com And invaluable resource for Delphi-based
Web-Development tutorials.
Intraweb from Atozed-Software seems to also be an alternative, in fact
(from user-testimonials in the newsgroups) an incredibly good
alternative (http://www.atozedsoftware.com). You can use your favourite
access-library and don't even need a web-server (is already built into
Intraweb-Applications)
If you need to use a linux-box as web-server, there is phpLens, which is
not free, but provides advanced capabilities for editable girds using
JavaScript and so on. (http://phplens.com)
