Установка
To enable InterBase support configure PHP --with-interbase[=DIR], where DIR is the InterBase base install directory, which defaults to /usr/interbase.
Замечание: Note to Win32 Users In order for this extension to work, there are DLL files that must be available to the Windows system PATH. For information on how to do this, see the FAQ entitled "How do I add my PHP directory to the PATH on Windows". Although copying DLL files from the PHP folder into the Windows system directory also works (because the system directory is by default in the system's PATH), this is not recommended. This extension requires the following files to be in the PATH: gds32.dll
In case you installed the InterBase database server on the same machine PHP is running on, you will have this DLL already. Therefore you don't need to worry because gds32.dll will already be in the PATH.

On version 2.0 or higher of Firebird, the library is now fbclient.dll. But, fbclient.dll can be rename on gds32.dll, on Windows System for compatibility. The library gds32.dll is for older version of firebird.
Pour les version récentes (2 et plus) de Firebird, la librairie est maintenant fbclient.dll. La librairie gds32.dll était pour les anciennes versions. Il est possible de renommer fbclient.dll en gds32.dll pour les différentes compatibilités pour les application déjà existantes.
Add interbase.so to MAMP / OSX

I tried to add extension php_interbase.dll on my php (WinXp PHP as Apche2.2 module).I had a problem while starting web server:
"unable to load dynamic lybrary php_interbase.dll"
Solution was to add file fbclient.dll into php folder. (Not gds32.dll)
