2019-06-07 Linux test kit was updated to address some incompatibilities.

2019-05-31 Added PHP extension for 64 bit Linux for testing (link below).

2019-05-16 Experimental versions of the PHP Interbase / Firebird driver with fixed bugs #72175 as described in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72175. Volker Rehn has tested versions in 32 and 64 bit and reported no problem. Linux builds will follow shortly. Note, it is not the official PHP driver. Our own dedicated Firebird driver is under development, with test builds expected soon.

2019-05-06 In 2019, the PHP community decided to remove the PHP driver "ibase" from the kernel and outsource it to the PECL repository. With this step, we want to orient ourselves as the driver progresses primarily to the needs of the Firebird community.

The move of the driver is currently not completed. Once this happens we will provide links and instructions for downloading and compiling the PHP driver.
