Playing off base. What I proposed you is to help us to get your
software continue to run smoothly with PHP, while keeping the windows
support. In the end you may even get a faster version on windows, but
I suppose you don't care about that (poor customers ;) .
This I think is part of the current battle - and it is a battle -
between those of us who use and spend a lot of our time SUPPORTING PHP
use in the field.

I hope the purpose if this post was to vent .. and I hope that you are
now vented. Aside from this you just wasted the time of anyone who has
actually read your post, hoping that there would actually be some
relevant content to read. Instead you can shouted, which several people
have asked you not to do. Lester next time you are about to click "send"
on a mail where you have capitalized entire words, please take a deep
breather and hit deleted instead.
Partly to vent - see other post about finfo_open - this weekends waste of
time! "It works fine here" from other developers is equally annoying when
looking at a white screen without even an error message!
But the main problem is getting some answers to what is happening to PHP6. I
will continue to shout now since asking politely over the last couple of years
has not achieved anything :(

PS: How about instead sending a mail to the firebird foundation, to
which you seem well conntected, and see if they can help?
They have had the discussion and since the php_interbase driver *IS* working
fine with Firebird since Ard produced the PHP5 version of it then there has
been no requirement to replace Ard's effort. None of the people actively using
Firebird on PHP can see the need to invest any time in PDO but because of the
bugs introduced in the 64 bit linux builds of php_interbase we are trying to
get some time invested into that. The core development work in FB has been
unicode, and any work on the driver for PHP6 is stalled until there is
something that can actually be done :(
Two years ago I had a fully configured development setup for PHP6 on linux all
ready to get stuck in. Since then I've lost a major source of funding and
fixing some of the stupid little problems due to PHP upgrades is now an
irritating delay to other more productive work. It normally takes hours to get
into other peoples code to find out where the fault is even before you can
start to find a fix! Having then to learn the insides out of the whole of the
PHP code base to fix the actual bug is just impractical - and half the time
the 'bug' is actually a pigging change to some functionality :(
