PHP7.4 and firebird/interbase: ibase_connect(), ibase_query() Call to undefined function

I'm dealing with a legacy firebird database and can't seem to get it to work with PHP7.4. The interbase extension isn't available anymore in PHP7.4, I can only install PDO_FIREBIRD.

There are also no releases on PECL. https://pecl.php.net/package/interbase

Any hints how to make it work with 7.4?

Solution

  • Recent versions of PHP indeed no longer ship with the interbase package. Instead you can use the Firebird PHP driver, which is a fork and continued development of the interbase package.
