We will do what WE have to to maintain it, but none of us are up to speed with current PHP 'style' of coding so we also need help which is how we managed to get the PHP7 version updated. If you pull firebird then I am definitely dropping PHP7 and sticking with a working PHP5 infrastructure! PDO is no substitute for the current interbase driver and I use cross database transactions which only the generic driver can handle anyway. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
