php_interbase problems

OK I've finally spent time working through the problems of getting PHP5.2.x
working with my legacy applications, and after a lot of dead ends I've finally
tracked one problem down to the php_interbase module not returning the right
thing for a blob_id - giving '0x %i' instead.
I suspect that this was broken between 5.1.6 and 5.2.0 but I'm currently
working with 5.2.3.
So is this a problem that has popped up in other modules and just needs a
quick tweak, or do we have to start panicking and dig deep in php_interbase code?

That is the effect - kgbfernando has picked up that someone has modified the
code that returns the blob_id and messed it up.

That one is NOT bogus it just flags that ibase_fetch_object has the same
fault as ibase_fetch_row and both of these bugs need updating to identify the
real problem. So tony2001 killing that bug without actually checking it is
probably why the problem has been missed :(

Can who ever messed the code up roll it back please :)
