Just as Delphi does all things to do with Fb/IB - via the API.

Yes, the API Guide.

I was trying to find out whether PHP has implemented anything for blobs,
but would need to look further.

Python 's second-generation database API can handle
blobs. http://sourceforge.net/projects/kinterbasdb/ is the home of a
Python DB-API 2.0 module for Firebird and InterBase.

C++ programmers use the API or, in the case of C++Builder, they can use the
Delphi components.

Firebird's Jaybird (Java) interface implements blobs also.
