Firebird Driver Finally!!

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi, thanks a lot for this driver. Good work!

This week, I upgraded a server from Ubuntu 10.04.x to 14.04.1, which comes with PHP 5.5.9 and my CI applications using Firebird stopped working. I just get white screens.

I've notticed that there's a new version of firebird_driver.php, from about 6 months ago (I was using your code from 2011). Thanks! But I get the same result.

I installed a fresh virtual machine with Ubuntu 14.04.1 and got the same response, so I now know the problem is not because something got broken in my configurations during the upgrade.

Then I installed my CI applications in another server, running Ubuntu 12.04.5 with PHP 5.3.10; I installed the php5-interbase extension and everything works OK.

So I think the problem is with the driver.

Commenting the connection to Firebird in /config/database.php or replacing the code in /database/drivers/firebird/firebird_driver.php with gibberish or just plain HMTL I get some response from my applications.

¿Is there some new way I should activate the intebrase extension in PHP 5.5.9, under Apache 2.4?

¿Do you know if something has changed in the way PHP 5.5 manages the interbase extension? ¿Something was deprecated?
