Unable to connect to Interbase 2020 Database with PHP 8.2

178 views Asked by Bob Bullemer At 24 December 2023 at 01:23

We recently installed Interbase Server 2020 on Windows Server 2019 with Apache Server 2.4.57 (Win64) OpenSSL/3.1.2 PHP/8.2.10

I am able to connect to the Interbase SQL Database remotely with IBConsole Administrator Database Utility on port 3050.

The following link show the php info including the interbase extension:

I am not able to connect to the Interbase SQL Database remotely with PHP 8.2.

$db = ibase_connect( DB_HOST.DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, 'ISO8859_1', 100, 1) OR die('Unable to connect to the loan servicing database. ');

I receive the following error:

Warning: ibase_connect(): connection rejected by remote interface in C:\Program Files\Apache2\htdocs\test-sqlconnect.php on line 24

What can I do to connect to the Interbase 2020 Database remotely with PHP 8.2?
