This is still a problem. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-06 17:31:41] hasul at etoscomp dot eu Hi, is this bug still open? Because BLOB is working on my system (Centos 5.2 64bit). I used php 5.2.6 from Jason Litka repo (http://www.jasonlitka.com/yum-repository/) and FirebirdSS-2.1.0.17798-0.amd64.rpm from official firebird site. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-16 07:19:43] pajoye@php.net "You're maybe right, but the bug appeared in 5.2.4 while 5.2.1. works fine, something has changed in PHP, not in firebird." I meant support as in 2nd level support not for the quality of the driver :) About the handle question, it is how they do it in firebird itself. A quick search in codesearch: http://google.com/codesearch?q=lang%3Ac+typedef+FB_API_HANDLE&hl=en&btnG=Search+Code So the problem is somewhere else, but I can't help as I don't use firebird. Let wait a bit more for the maintainers answer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-16 06:39:45] ale dot pas at tiscali dot it You're maybe right, but the bug appeared in 5.2.4 while 5.2.1. works fine, something has changed in PHP, not in firebird. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-15 09:42:35] pajoye@php.net Let get it assigned. It will certainly help to bring some love here. > It's a pity we choose PHP for almost all of our projects, do not make > this error, choose Java, Python or Ruby you will find a better support > there. I doubt you will find better ibase support anywhere but InterBase directly. That's the main problem here, not PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-15 09:35:39] ale dot pas at tiscali dot it Ok, after 10 months this bug is sill open without a comment from a developer. This clearly proves that PHP is definitely not ready for enterprise solutions. It's a pity we choose PHP for almost all of our projects, do not make this error, choose Java, Python or Ruby you will find a better support there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
