Your question is rather unclear, however it is probably better to ask this on the firebird-python list instead (see https://www.firebirdsql.org/en/mailing-lists/) Mark -- Mark Rotteveel

There is a list for firebird users on php firebird-...@yahoogroups.com It is true that Firebird does not perhaps get the love it deserves when using it with PHP and there are a few niggles that have crept in over the years as how PHP handles data has been changed. We *DO* need a few more people who can handle the complexities of C and changes to the interface to bring both the original ibase driver and the less flexible pdo_firebird driver up to PHP7 standards.

Firebird 4 will introduce default roles (though technically PUBLIC is a default role as well) which will allow more control by granting users a default role. That way they will get the rights of those default roles without having to explicitly specify a role on connect. Mark -- Mark Rotteveel

It appears that I was correct. You should really consider hard what you just wrote here, and may be consider next time that if you have nothing friendly or constructive to say, that maybe you should just refrain from saying it. This kind of attitude against people who spend a lot of time to provide free tools is one of the reasons why contributors stop contributing. Also, FYI, FlameRobin dates back to 2004 (likely even earlier given the amount of code in the first commit). Mark -- Mark Rotteveel

Disclaimer: I don't use PHP, but a quick google suggested
https://secure.php.net/manual/bg/function.ibase-timefmt.php; that seems
to be a function that has been removed, but one of the comments suggested:
```
/**
* Constant definitions that has been removed from PHP 5
*/
const IBASE_DATE = "ibase.dateformat";
const IBASE_TIME = "ibase.timeformat";
const IBASE_TIMESTAMP = "ibase.timestampformat";
/**
* Sets the format of timestamp, date or time type
* columns returned from queries
*/
function ibase_timefmt($format, $where = IBASE_TIMESTAMP)
{
ini_set($where, $format);
}
```
And https://secure.php.net/manual/en/ibase.installation.php (see first
comment) suggests this can also be configured in the php.ini file.
