[PHP-DEV] pdo and firebird connection

[Michael Maier]

Hi,

I´ve trying now for hours just to connect with PDO to my firebird DB.
I tried it first with a mysql db and had no problems at all. but it
doesn´t work with firebird and I don´t know why (haven´t found anything
helpful via google as well).

I tried to use the manual from here:
http://de3.php.net/manual/de/function.pdo-construct.php

with the code below, I get always the error message:
Fatal error: Call to a member function getAttribute() on a non-object in
K:\_workspace\test1\pdo3.php on line 7

a test with the interbase driver works well (see in the code comments).

=> is the code correct?
=> where is the error!?
=> does the PDO firebird driver work?

thx a lot for help,

Michael

<?php
$username = 'SYSDBA';
$password = 'xxxxxx';

$dbh = new PDO(
'firebird:User=SYSDBA;Password=xxxxxx;Database=k:\_firebird\examples\EMPLOYEE.FDB;DataSource=localhost;Port=3050',
$username, $password );
//$dbh = new PDO(
'firebird:User=SYSDBA;Password=xxxxxx;Database=k:\_firebird\examples\EMPLOYEE.FDB;DataSource=localhost;Port=3050'
);
print $dbh->getAttribute(PDO_ATTR_AUTOCOMMIT); // <==Fatal error here!
$stmt = $dbh->prepare("Select * from SHOW_LANGS('SRep',4,'Italy')");
$stmt->execute();
$stmt = null;

/*
// test with ibase driver
$dsn = 'localhost:k:\_firebird\examples\employee.fdb';
$dbh = ibase_connect ( $dsn, $username, $password ) or die ("error in db
connect");
$stmt="Select * from SHOW_LANGS('SRep',4,'Italy')";
$query = ibase_prepare($stmt);
$rs=ibase_execute($query);
$row = ibase_fetch_row($rs);
echo $row[0];
// free result
ibase_free_query($query);
//ibase_free_result($rs);
// close db
ibase_close($dbh);
*/

ok, for everybody who is playing with the pdo firebird driver as well:

----------------------
do for example the connection like this (not like the link to the manual
from above):
<?php
$user = "SYSDBA";
$password = "xxx";
$test_base = "localhost:k:\x_test\PDO\TEST.FDB";
$dbh = new PDO("firebird:dbname=$test_base",$user,$password) or die;
?>
----------------------
try catch doesn´t work (no exception is thrown):
<?php
...
try
{
$db = new PDO("firebird:dbname=$test_base",$user,$password);
}
catch( PDOException $e )
{
die( $e->getMessage() );
}
?>
----------------------
all the other examples form http://netevil.org/node.php?nid=44&SC=1 have
worked.
but be careful with the column named "value". better use a different
name e.g. "val" or whatever (I´ve had problems here).
----------------------

like Lester said, Ard is busy right now.
but he told me he will take some time in the near future to fix the
current issues.

thx,
Michael
