HowTo connect to Firebird from Delphi for Php
Here is the tutorial
Firebird is supported by PHP, and Delphi for PHP can support it, but it can’t out of the box.
What is not well documented about a Delphi for PHP to Firebird connection, is the fact that names of libraries can overlap in WIndows.
In this first post, I’d put a foreword to clarify situation.

Why I find MySQL to be so bad compared to Firebird
MySQL is the most used Open Source database engine. I have personally used it for almost 10 years. I worked with versions 3.x, 4.x and 5.x of MySQL, but I also used other database engines, some of them handling the same “data-set size” as MySQL, while others have been smaller databases (mostly Desktop based databases such as SQLite, MS-Access and Paradox).
This is the first part of my complaint about MySQL and why I dislike it.
