Blindly reverting something is no fix, those changes were done for a good reason, even though Marcus didn't test them very good (but that's what RCs are for, isn't it?).

Obviously they were not tested at all?

I don't know of any people using Interbase except for you and Ard (who maintains all interbase extensions). So even if somebody did run the tests against an RC, he/she didn't tell a word to us.

There may be some subtle reason why this has been changed and OUR current fix is to load a copy of the 5.2.1 version which fixes the bug - so until someone explains why it was changed then reverting works fine. I had to give up switching to 5.2 as I did not have the time to fix all the problems that it was throwing up.

What kind of problems?

Then it should be possible for someone who HAS commit rights to actually make it work?

Yes, if only this somebody has Windows build env, Interbase and will to help us. Unfortunately we don't have such people in PHP community. Edin and Pierre are two people doing windows builds, but none of them use Interbase as far as I know. I must also note that you don't have to have commit rights to cook a patch and send it to the list.

Currently the php_interbase driver is almost unusable in PHP5.2 as shipped, but the 5.2.1 copy works fine.

Try the very next snapshot, I applied a patch after a discussion with Marcus. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal
