I've no idea about the PHP usage, but the string above looks a bit
weird. The first part shouldn't be the path to database, but the
server/port information. E.g. the following is valid:

localhost:service_mgr

or

localhost/3051:service_mgr

Perhaps you are mixing something related to a database connection path
vs. server name when using the ibase_service_attach call?
