in beta, so while I ran PHP4 for a while, only PHP5 is used in
production, and if you look at the Firebird functions you will see that
many were added at the PHP5 stage.

The internet base I am currently using was cloned from a different
package, and is a bit of a mish mash, so I am moving everything over to
Tikipro.
I can provide a few more 'samples'
http://home.lsces.co.uk/ibWebAdmin_0_98/index.html
for instance shows the web version of 'IBconsole'
The nice thing about all this - not a single penny has to be spent to
download any of this. Apache2 - PhP5.0.4 - Firebird and it will run just
as happily on Linux as Windows
SO *WHY* did you say no PHP?
