help with PHP and interbase

im trying to create a PH开发者_如何学运维P web application to connec to an interbase database. Iv installed xampp for the PHP and Apache. I then installed Firebird SQL 2.5 to get the required DLL's. however iv noticed that in the php\ext folder there doesnt seem to be a php_interbase.dll which from what iv read is needed. can some one please direct me in the right direction where I can get the needed DLL or even how i should ste up my machine in order for me to be able to connect to interbase.

when i try to connect to the database i get the following error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function ibase_connect() in C:\xampp\htdocs\phase\includes\config.php on line 11

1. php_interbase.dll Requires: gds32.dll (bundled)

Yes, it can. If your client is 64-bit, it's called ibclient64.dll, not gds32.dll

for windows64

copy file C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird__\WOW64\fbclient.dll

to :C:\Windows\SysWOW64\fbclient.dll
