PHP & Firebird on Ubuntu

(Also posted in the alt.os.linux.ub untu newsgroup, but I thought it might be
more appropriate here)

Hi,

I'm running the Ubuntu Breezy Badger OS.
I just installed the Firebird Classical Server from the Synaptic Package
Manager, I can access my database from another machine with a program I
wrote for that purpose or my database manager.

I already had Apache2 with PHP5 running. Now I would like to access my
firebird database from a PHP script, but as soon as I use ibase_connect() it
gives:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function ibase_connect() in
/extern/webklant/includes/firebird.lib on line 94

Any idea how to enable the ibase_* functions?

Thanks a lot.

Regards

Michael.

Did you read the page describing how to do this in detail?

http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/ref.ibase.php

If that doesn't help, come back here and tell us what you tried and what
failed.

Good luck,
