BIGINT is not handled as a simple integer? But I do need a consistent result if users are on windows which is an area where inconsistency has been causing problems in the past. > Unfortunately, phpng don't support firebird yet and it's not in our > priority list. > > Then there is no way that I can get involved at the present time :) > may be help in porting ext/interbase and ext/pdo_firebird :) > > I really don't know a lot about Firebird and afraid even proper > configuration might take us significant time. Looks like you don't support Postgres either yet? MySQL is the worst possible choice for any database application, so many of us will not be able to follow you until these are supported, and consistent handling of long strings/blobs and large integers is part of the problem here. While I'm trying to keep in touch with these new developments, until I've managed to get all of my client base off PHP5.2 and up to 5.4 I don't have time to spend on extra work. :( ( God I HATE the navigation crap on the top of the manual pages - this should be a PROPER hierarchy of the page you are looking at not random stuff you visited ) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
