Re: PDO Firebird status?

Guys, Sorry for the late reply. As you might have guessed already, PHP is not a high priority for me at the moment. First of all, you will probably remember that I was not completely satisfied with the direction set out for PDO, the reason being that the chosen model for PDO doesn't map really well to Firebird/Interbase. I wholeheartedly agree with 'majority rules' and all of that, and I'm convinced that PDO will be a great success. But for me, PDO/Firebird isn't that much of a challenge anymore. The main reason for not participating lately, however, is that I'm really busy working in a completely different field. I'm doing research on PVR-applications for Philips [no, I had nothing to do with the patent about blocking the controls during a commercial block :-)], and it doesn't involve PHP or Firebird. So it seems I won't be of any use to you lot in the near future. Best regards, Ard Lorenzo Alberton wrote:

Hi Marcus, thanks for your prompt reply

I'd like to know what's the current status of the PDO Firebird driver. Today I tested it a bit, and I believe it's not really in par with the other drivers.

Is there a public roadmap or a comparison table with the features already implemented in each driver?

No such table is available. In general all drivers should support the full range once ready. However pdo firebird seems quite abandoned and i could not make it work on http://gcov.php.net

I see. That's unfortunate :-|

Is Ard still active?

That is the important questions :-) Ard?

I really hope he's still active, he did a terrific job with the PHP5's interbase extension...
