HeLen,

as for PHP, you can have a look at adodb (php.weblogs.com/ADODB) they
do have a support for blobs, although I have not tested it for Firebird.

Talking of which, has anyone heard of any attempt to have a PHP driver
for Firebird, with upcoming 1.5 & 2 releases while Borland is going to
7 chances are the 2 will diverge & this is way beyond my skills to try
& modify the interbase driver :(
