There are heaps of resources on this at:
http://www.ibphoenix.com
http://www.firebirdsql.org

But to save you searching and eading, here's a simple intro:

If you've got php compiled/installed with firebird libraries, and the
firebird server running somewhere, do something like this!

Make a table with any of the tools(DBWorkBench, IBAdmin, isel, etc)
example:
create table contact (
contact_id NUMERIC(18,0) NOT NULL,
name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
phone VARCHAR(15),
PRIMARY KEY(contact_id)
);
CREATE GENERATOR gen_contact_id;

Write some PHP to access it:
<?php
ibase_connect("server:/path/to/database.fdb","sysdba","masterkey");
$sql = "select * from contact order by name";
$rec = ibase_query($sql);
// Echo out the results
while($obj = ibase_fetch_object($rec)){
echo "Name:$obj->NAME, Phone:$obj->PHONE<br>";
}
?>

Too easy - just like any other database in PHP
(apart from getting inserted record ID's - use a stored procedure to do
that!)

There is a PHP specific firebird list - have a browse through the archive -
lots of good bits there!!
