Ok I found my error, nothing about Firebird.
I forgot to copy fbemebd.dll in my application folder and FBLib loaded some
gds32.dll found on path (in my php folder). I was running isql for testing
from
a different directory, holding an application that created the database.

Now I can open my database.
