The setup is very similar.

Same goes for Linux, just you need libgds32.so. Just install Firebird on
machine if it isn't.

You have two possible solutions on Linux here. Either you do like Dale
suggests, the extension is:
extension=interbase.so
(You may have to biuld this library from PHP source tree).

or your PHP has to be compiled with InterBase support using
--with-interbase=/path/to/interbase/

You need to restart Apache.

You can check whether the extension is working by calling one of PHP
ibase_ functions... check PHP manual for details.

eg. /var/www/html/ibwebadmin
or something like that.

Do it.

The same.
