This is how it works for me (Windows XP, IIS, PHP5, GDS32.DLL in
Windows Dir):

To connect to the database, use:

$db = ibase_connect ("server:dbname", "SYSDBA", "masterkey", "ISO8859_1", "100", "3");

In PHP.ini, uncomment this entry:

extension=php_interbase.dll

There is another setting named "extension_dir". The php_interbase.dll
must be in that dir of course.
