We have been using InterBase 6 for nearly a decade. When we need info from one of our InterBase databases from our website, we issue a REST command to one of our store servers which then returns an XML response to our website.

We want to eliminate the middle-man computer and have our website directly query and post to the InterBase database servers. However, our web hosting company doesn't know how to enable php.ini for InterBase access but did enable it for Firebird.

Can we use the php Firebird interface to directly access our InterBase databases?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
