Good news everyone : Firebird #php driver will be back in #windows install kit for php 5.3.4
Pierre Joye (Team Leader for windows.php.net) wrote on windows php building list : (someone
asked about the ldap extension)
5.3.4 should have it. There are other missing extensions but some of
them will never be restored (like *spell for example). Firebird was
the last one actually missing and should be back in 5.3.4.
Flamerobin 0.9.3 revision 2048 binary snapshots for #Debian and #Ubuntu are ready to install and test
Announcement :stable version of Firebird driver for the PHP Codeigniter Framework
Carlos wrote on firebird-php group : I’ve developed a stable version of a Firebird driver for the PHP Codeigniter Framework . Good feedback has been received from the Codeigniter community so far, and hope this could be useful for more developers working with PHP and Firebird.The sources are available at bitbucket here and any issues can be reported here
or at my blog here and for the English readers …
Thanx, live long and prosper…

ps: seems that the driver is quite popular in such a small timeframe
I am happy that my driver for # firebird # codeigniter already are used by people from around the world in so little time:)
Now the benchmark results : seems that Firebird 2.5 compiled with clang++ is faster than g++
Now i have the clean build results and seems that clang++ is faster in one benchmark that i have tested Soon i will add more and test clang++ build with other benchmarks also some graphs will be added to the dry results 🙂
If you want to follow the clang++ build saga here is the tag on my blog
