I followed these steps:
Start with:
$ sudo apt-get update
Install php
$ sudo apt install php7.4-cli
Install php dev
$ sudo apt install php7.4-dev
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/php/pecl-database-interbase.git
cd pecl-database-interbase/
sudo apt-get install firebird-dev autoconf build-essential
phpize --clean
phpize
./configure
make
sudo make install
Enable the driver in your /etc/php/7.4/cli/php.ini file.
cd /etc/php/7.4/cli
sudo nano php.ini … and search for firebird
and change to
…
…
;extension=odbc
;extension=openssl
;extension=pdo_firebird
extension=interbase
;extension=pdo_mysql
;extension=pdo_oci
;extension=pdo_odbc
…
…
Jacob Alberty, owner of the jacobalberty/firebird image proposed the extension.
After saving the change in php.ini, with the command:
$ php -m
The output (without any error messages and notice interbase in the list) is:
nols@ubuntuserver:~$ php -m
