Ouch, while trying to connect to a firebird database (I know its not popular)

Fatal error: Call to undefined function ibase_connect()

The solution for me was simple, the module was not installed ! Since I work with centos, I have a alternative repo (as the official one doesn’t have newer versions of PHP)

yum install php55w-interbase
service httpd restart

Restarting httpd and fixed !
