The Jaybird team would like to invite developers and users of Jaybird to fill out a survey on your use of Jaybird (Firebird JDBC driver). You can find the survey at http://infopoll.net/live/surveys/s36021.htm. The results of the survey will be used to decide where to focus development of the upcoming Jaybird versions.

The survey will be online until 28-September. If you use Jaybird in your projects, don’t miss the chance to participate in this survey.

modified php.ini as mentioned in above blog post
I had to modify status.php and FirebirdTest.php a bit because of my existing Firebird installation and the different Apache port:
status.php:
…
line($TEXT[‘status-ssi’], $ssi);
if (file_exists(“$partwampp\\htdocs\\xampp\\FirebirdTest.php”)) {
$a = @file(“http://{$hostauth}{$host}:8080/xampp/FirebirdTest.php”);
$fbi = $a[0];
line(“Firebird”, $fbi);
}
…
<?php
if(@ibase_connect(‘localhost:C:\Program Files (x86)\Firebird\Firebird_2_5\examples\empbuild\employee.fdb’, ‘sysdba’,’myfirebirdpassword’)) {
echo “OK”;
} else {
echo “NOK”;
}
?>
http://localhost:8080/xampp/FirebirdTest.php then should return ‘OK’

In this next installment, we’ll be looking at two (arguably very contrasting) databases. The first is Gladius DB, which is a flat file database written in pure PHP.

So with that, let’s get going.
