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](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
