strange things going on with InterBase and PHP4.02 ???

hi folks, imagine this: $hdb = ibase_connect($host, $user, $passwd, "", "", "", "$role"); $sql = "SELECT * FROM items WHERE itemnumber = '4711' "; $hst = ibase_query($hdb, $sql); This leads to $hst having a value of 1 now this: $hdb = ibase_connect($host, $user, $passwd, "", "", "", "$role"); $sql = "SELECT itemdescr, itemname FROM items WHERE itemnumber = '4711' "; $hst = ibase_query($hdb, $sql); This leads to $hst having a value of "resource identifier #2" PLEASE, what is going on there? In the first example I cannot retrieve a result set or anything else. In the second case, I cannot pass $hst to ibase_fetch_object($hst) or ibase_fetch_row($hst). Although I bet everything is as per PHP manual, I am going mad about all this. I SIMPLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENS ... Info: I run Apache 1.3.12 with mod_ssl 2.6.5 and PHP 4.02 and try this all in non-SSL sesions as well in a SSL session. All the same. Where do I miss something?
