XLIV. InterBase functions

Introductie

InterBase is a popular database put out by Borland/Inprise. More information about InterBase is available at . Oh, by the way, InterBase just joined the open source movement!

Opmerking: Full support for InterBase 6 was added in PHP 4.0.

This database uses a single quote (') character for escaping, a behavior similar to the Sybase database, add to your php.ini the following directive:

magic_quotes_sybase = On

Afhankelijkheden

Installatie

To enable InterBase support configure PHP --with-interbase[=DIR], where DIR is the InterBase base install directory, which defaults to /usr/interbase.

Note to Win32 Users: In order to enable this module on a Windows environment, you must copy gds32.dll from the DLL folder of the PHP/Win32 binary package to the SYSTEM32 folder of your windows machine. (Ex: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32). In case you installed the InterBase database server on the same machine PHP is running on, you will have this DLL already. Therfore you don't need to copy gds32.dll from the DLL folder.

Configuratie tijdens scriptuitvoer

Het gedrag van deze functies wordt be�nvloed vanuit php.ini.

For those who have problem with returning values from Stored Procedures in PHP-Interbase,  I have found a solution.   Use a select sentence like this:
select * from sp_prodecure(param, ...)
However, it is important that the procedure has a SUSPEND statement or else the procedure won't return any values.

But the "message length" (see above note) bug that you encounter when you try to execute a procedure should be fixed !

Hello PHP Mania,

i have made a paging for PHP with Interbase...... :)

i hope it usefull and work....:)

it`s a litle bit of example :

<?
$connection = ibase_connect($yourdb, $user, $password);

$filename = BASENAME(__FILE__);
$strsql = "Your SQL";
$result = ibase_query($connection, $strsql);

function ibase_num_rows($query) { //I have pick it from [email protected]
$i = 0;
while (ibase_fetch_row($query)) {
   $i++;
 }
return $i;
}
$nrow = ibase_num_rows($result);//sum of row

$strSQL = "your SQL";
$result = ibase_query($connection, $strSQL);

if (!isset($page))
 $page = 1;

$$i = 0;
$recperpage = 4;
$norecord = ($page - 1) * $recperpage;
if ($norecord){
 $j=0;
 while($j < $norecord and list($code, $name)= ibase_fetch_row($result)){

 $j++;
 }
}
echo "<table>";
while (list($code, $name)= ibase_fetch_row($result) and $i < $recperpage){

?>
<tr>
<td width="5%"><? echo $code; ?></td>
<td><? echo $name; ?></td>
</tr>
<?
$i++;
}

$incr = $page + 1;
if ($page > 1) $decr = $page - 1;

$numOfPage = ceil($nrow/$recperpage);
?>
<tr>
<td colspan="3" align="center"><?if ($page <= 1)
echo "<span>Prev</span>";
else
  echo "<a href=".$filename."?page=".$decr.">Prev</a>";
?>
&nbsp;&nbsp;
<?if ($page == $numOfPage)
echo "<span>Next</span>";
 else
  echo "<a href=".$filename."?page=".$incr.">Next</a>";?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

If you are using VirtualHosts with Apache, you might find useful the following directive:

php_flag magic_quotes_sybase on

Use it in any VirtualHost and it will be set locally to that VirtualHost without interfering with any global setting.
This is an example:

<VirtualHost 555.666.777.888>
  ServerName www.samplehost.com
  DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm
  php_flag magic_quotes_sybase on
</VirtualHost>

It is not possible to use interbase/firebird without initiating transactions. It seems that transactions are not automatically committed or rolled back at the end of a script, so remember to end all interbase enabled scripts with ibase_rollback() or ibase_commit().

Worse is, that if you use ibase_pconnect (recommended), transactions survive from one request to the next. So that if you don't rollback your transaction at the end of the script, another user's request might continue the transaction that the first request opened.

This has two implications:
1) Clicking refresh in your browser won't make you see newer data, because you still watch data from the same transaction.
2) Some php scripts might fail occassionally and not fail in other occasions, depending on with apache server thread and thereby which transaction they start using.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as
if (ibase_intransaction()) ibase_rollback();

so be sure that ALL your scripts end with an ibase_rollback() or ibase_commit();

You should better use gds32.dll provided with that version of Firebird/Interbase you're going to connect to.
