You can't.
PHP has to be configured with Interbase support. From the manual:
"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\SYSTEM 32 or C:\WINDOWS\SYST EM32).
In case you installed the InterBase database server on the same machine
PHP is running on, you will have this DLL already. Therefore you don't
need to copy gds32.dll from the DLL folder."

you need the php source-code if you want to install a php-extension like
databases.

in the php-source directory there is a subdirectory ext for several
extensions e.g.:
for interbase/firebird exists the interbase subdirectory.

you go into the interbase directory an issue the command

phpize

which creates several files for the usual installation process

./configure
make
make install

depending on your php-version you must edit /etc/php.ini
or add a file to /etc/php/ (e.g.: 32_interbase.in i
with content: extension = interbase.so)


happy databasing
