You don't "run Firebird within...scripting language[s]". You access
Firebird using a language-specific driver. For information about the
PHP driver for Firebird you need to subscribe to the firebird-php list
(go to http://firebirdsql.org/index.php?op=lists for subscribe details).

These are architectual aspects of your web application development.
Again, if PHP is your language of choice, the people in the
firebird-php list will be able to direct you to learning resources
that they have used.

You will need to become competent in you web application development
language of choice and (separately) learn how a client/server database
works and how Firebird, in particular, works.

Feel free to post questions in this list about using Firebird -
database design, SQL language and concept questions, transactions, and
such. You will need to find suitable resources elsewhere for
designing web applications and learning about PHP or other language
interfaces.

For Firebird basics, visit the main website and go to the
Documentation Index.
