That is the error message you are referring to, the call is:

-------------------------------
if (($service = ibase_service_attach($host, $username, $password)) == FALSE) {
-------------------------------

the host is defined as:

-------------------------------
$host = '192.168.10.109:/var/lib/firebird/2.5/data/grip.fdb';
-------------------------------

So I think that it is correct.

Also if I query the database this works fine - only attaching to the service db is a problem.
