Or try using *front-slashes* or double-backslashes... try either of these... $dbh = ibase_connect("c:\\delphi5\\projects\\Test.gdb","SYSDBA","Ingram"); ... or ... $dbh = ibase_connect("c:/delphi5/projects/Test.gdb","SYSDBA","Ingram"); It's always key to remember that we're dealing with a Unix program (php is essentially Unix-based) on a Windows envrionment, so strings & paths are always dealt with better in a Unix-convention. -- Andy Hoffman Web Developer Bristol-Myers Squibb email: andy.hoffman@bms.com
