Hello Nikita, hello Lester
I am also working on a patch. So I thought, I inform you about this.
I will check Nikita's patch too. But looks very promising. If this works, we should check it
in.
Regards,
Martin

I have a test running on 7.2.16 ...
http://smallbrook.co.uk:800/ibtest2.php
http://smallbrook.co.uk:800/ibtest3.php
creates a connection to a second database and then 2 to the example database ... so Resource id #3
is duplicated nicely ...
It is worth pointing out that the problem was never with creating multiple connections, but rather
with trying to start a second connection to the same database. In reality all that is required is to
simply use the existing connection, and nikita's patch neatly restores that operation under the
hood. It simply returns the existing resource handle when a duplicate database is used.

Here is a possible patch against the PHP 7.3 branch: https://gist.github.com/nikic/ef81684007753232893eae7acc034196
This should resolve this issue and some of the other more blatant refcounting bugs. Because it does
so, it may also change the behavior of ibase_close to close all shared connections. I've added
a hack to avoid closing the default link, but it may be better to just make ibase_close a no-op
instead.

Even in the way to help maintaining, why PHP site build setup instrunctions are 5 years old?
http://it2.php.net/build-setup.php
or
https://secure.php.net/build-setup.php
To be sure, follow "Get involved" and click in the right pane "Developer Setup
Help"
The "some helpful information regarding setting up a development environment for PHP"
actually are not.
Trying to setup an Ubuntu PHP7 VM to check what can be done, but for Windows don't know if I
can in spare time.

Thanks for the info Christoph. The module works perfectly, almost for me. This it's the only
bug I found which made me change some code to workaround it.
Firebird/Interbase DBMS it's live yet, Firebird will release version 4 in some time, and
Interbase it's maintained by Embarcadero. So it will be a pity if PHP doesn't has a native
driver for it.
As you said the module it's currently not maintained by a PHP developer and that's why
this bug it's unfixed yet.
It's there anyway we can help. I read something about there it's not an environment test
to check if the code works ...
