Sure, you're right. I wouldn't normally do this, but this is the only way. I took a look at ibWebAdmin. It simply calls the host machine's Firebird gbak utility. So I had to know the exact path to this utility on the linux based web server. But I don't know. In fact I don't have any access to this machine, only FTP and of course, web. The PHP installation doesn't even let me to do exec_command().

It's difficult to manage a site when all the best tools are switched off :( - I'm surprised Firebird is actually available :) We probably need to add further testing for the ibase_service_attach facilities, and look at what is missing. This is probably one that needs a bug opening on the php tracker, but I suspect it's actually an area where the fbird_ version of php_interbase may be a required split? Not using Interbase, I don't know how different this area of facilities are nowadays. One of the reasons for discussion on the php-firebird list so we can bounce questions to the firebird development team. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
