PHP 5.3.6 released with changes for Windows users :VC++6 builds disabled

March 18, 2011 mariuz Leave a comment

Officially VC++6 builds are dead (There are community builds but unsupported by core php developers)
Here is the announcement

Windows users: please mind that we do no longer provide builds created with Visual Studio C++ 6. It is impossible to maintain a high quality and safe build of PHP for Windows using this unmaintained compiler.

For Apache SAPIs (php5_apache2_2.dll), be sure that you use a Visual Studio C++ 9 version of Apache. We recommend the PHP builds as provided by ApacheLounge. For any other SAPI (CLI, FastCGI via mod_fcgi, FastCGI with IIS or other FastCGI capable server), everything works as before.Third party extension providers must rebuild their extensions to make them compatible and loadable with the Visual Studio C++9 builds that we no longer provide.

Good news everyone : Firebird #php driver will be back in #windows install kit for php 5.3.4

November 3, 2010 mariuz Leave a comment

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.

Got fb building with Ruby 1.8.7, 1.9.1 and 1.9.2. At least on Mac. Under 10.6. Testing Linux and Windows will have to wait for another day.

Here is the git repository for Firebird Ruby driver , also you can check the

ps: he is working on Firebird 2.5 support if you wonder what is new in the driver 🙂

#Ruby Firebird extension fb-0.6.7 is released with better support for #windows

Building firebird extension for #php 5.3.x on windows

September 28, 2009 mariuz Leave a comment

Short notes on how to compile Firebird extension (called interbase) on Windows 32 bit (the same ideas can be used for 64 bit too)
I have used Visual Studio c++ compiler 2008 (aka Vsc 9)
ps:
By default php developers on windows don’t have the firebird extension enabled in php 5.3.0 and the required dll (fbclient)
we try to fix that the vodoo spell is to ~~kill one~~ compile firebird stable with vsc9 and send them the instructions how to do ~~the kill~~ compiling but we have the recipe for that too and maybe we can ~~kill~~ compete with microsoft sql server on windows too if they let us

A new tool to import data into Firebird

June 29, 2009 mbabuskov Leave a comment

Guacosoft.com has released XMLWizard, a new tool used to import data into Firebird databases. It supports XML, CSV and fixed-width textual files. XML import has some unique features like support for nested XML files and loading data from XML properties.

Beside importing, the tool can be used to compare the data from file against the database and cherry-pick the changes manually. More info, and a demo video can be found at XMLWizard website.
