Call to undefined function ibase_connect() in Codeigniter

Question

I can not connect to a local bank in firebird.

Since I enabled the following extensions in php.ini but not getting any results.

extension=php_interbase.dll

extension="interbase.so"

extension=php_pdo_firebird.dll

I have also done interbase.so download the file and copy it to the folder:

/opt/lampp/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20131226/

I'm using:

• XAMPP 5.6.8 / PHP 5.6.8 (64bit)
• Linux 14.04 LTS (64bit)

My file database.php

$db['default'] = array(
    'dsn'   => '',
    'hostname' => 'localhost',
    'username' => 'SYSDBA',
    'password' => 'masterkey',
    'database' => 'localhost://home//ronald//fire//DEMO.GDB',
    // 'port' => '3050',
    'dbdriver' => 'ibase',
    'dbprefix' => '',
    'pconnect' => FALSE,
    'db_debug' => TRUE,
    'cache_on' => FALSE,
    'cachedir' => '',
    'char_set' => 'utf8',
    'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',
    'swap_pre' => '',
    'encrypt' => FALSE,
    'compress' => FALSE,
    'stricton' => FALSE,
    'failover' => array(),
    'save_queries' => TRUE
);

Recalling that the problem is not in my connection string, as I've tried variations like:

• 'database' => 'localhost://home//ronald//fire//DEMO.GDB'
• 'database' => 'localhost:/home/ronald/fire/DEMO.GDB'
• 'database' => '/home/ronald/fire/DEMO.GDB'
• 'database' => '//home//ronald//fire//DEMO.GDB'

Error:

Thank you for your help!

EDIT

By suggesting "@Daniel Waghorn" ran a page with phpinfo()

The result can be seen in: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/LVdzRy?editors=100

I took to perform the following function get_loaded_extensions(false)

The function returns me the loaded modules. And as you can see the modules for the Firebird are not loaded.

• Core
• date
• ereg
• libxml
• openssl
• pcre
• sqlite3
• zlib
• bcmath
• bz2
• calendar
• ctype
• curl
• dba
• dom
• hash
• fileinfo
• filter
• ftp
• gd
• gettext
• SPL
• iconv
• session
• intl
• json
• ldap
• mbstring
• mcrypt
• standard
• mysqlnd
• mysqli
• mysql
• PDO
• pdo_mysql
• pdo_pgsql
• pdo_sqlite
• Phar
• posix
• Reflection
• imap
• shmop
• SimpleXML
• soap
• sockets
• exif
• sybase_ct
• sysvsem
• sysvshm
• tokenizer
• wddx
• xml
• xmlreader
• xmlrpc
• xmlwriter
• xsl
• zip
• apache2handler
• pgsql
• mhash

Now how can I load the Firebird modules to run with XAMPP START?

Answer 1

Just copy fbclient.dll and gds32.dll to apache/bin/ folder and restart apache.

This work for me anfter hours of research.
