ibase_query
(PHP 3>= 3.0.6, PHP 4 )
ibase_query -- Execute a query on an InterBase database
Description
resource ibase_query ( [resource link_identifier, string
query [, int bind_args]])
Performs a query on an InterBase database. If the query
raises an error, returns FALSE. If it is successful and
there is a (possibly empty) result set (such as with a SELECT
query), returns a result identifier. If the query was successful
and there were no results, returns TRUE.
Example 1. ibase_query() example
<?php
$host = 'localhost:/path/to/your.gdb';
$dbh = ibase_connect($host, $username, $password);
$stmt = 'SELECT * FROM tblname';
$sth = ibase_query($dbh, $stmt) or die(ibase_errmsg());
?>
Note: In PHP 5.0.0 and up, this function will return the
number of rows affected by the query for INSERT, UPDATE
and DELETE statements. In order to retain backward compatibility,
it will return TRUE for these statements if the query succeeded
without affecting any rows.
Note: If you get some error like "arithmetic exception,
numeric overflow, or string truncation. Cannot transliterate
character between character sets" (this occurs when
you try use some character with accents) when using this
and after ibase_query() you must set the character set (i.e.
ISO8859_1 or your current character set).

and ibase_free_result().
