Good news everyone : Firebird #php driver will be back in #windows install kit for php 5.3.4
Pierre Joye (Team Leader for windows.php.net) wrote on windows php building list : (someone
asked about the ldap extension)
5.3.4 should have it. There are other missing extensions but some of
them will never be restored (like *spell for example). Firebird was
the last one actually missing and should be back in 5.3.4.
Flamerobin 0.9.3 revision 2048 binary snapshots for #Debian and #Ubuntu are ready to install and test
Announcement :stable version of Firebird driver for the PHP Codeigniter Framework
Carlos wrote on firebird-php group : I’ve developed a stable version of a Firebird driver for the PHP Codeigniter Framework . Good feedback has been received from the Codeigniter community so far, and hope this could be useful for more developers working with PHP and Firebird.The sources are available at bitbucket here and any issues can be reported here
or at my blog here and for the English readers …
Thanx, live long and prosper…
Carlos García Trujillo
ps: seems that the driver is quite popular in such a small timeframe
I am happy that my driver for # firebird # codeigniter already are used by people from around the world in so little time:)
Now the benchmark results : seems that Firebird 2.5 compiled with clang++ is faster than g++
Now i have the clean build results and seems that clang++ is faster in one benchmark that i have tested Soon i will add more and test clang++ build with other benchmarks also some graphs will be added to the dry results 🙂
If you want to follow the clang++ build saga here is the tag on my blog

Code Igniter seems to be a cool PHP framework
CodeIgniter is most often noted for its speed when compared to other PHP frameworks. In a critical take on PHP frameworks in general, PHP creator Rasmus Lerdorf spoke at frOSCon in August 2008, noting that he liked CodeIgniter “because it is faster, lighter and the least like a framework”.
#Ruby news : Firebird driver compilable on #rbx (rubinius) and full test passes on Linux (for the classic Ruby VM)
Here is the description of rubinius:
Rubinius is an implementation of the Ruby programming language.
The Rubinius bytecode virtual machine is written in C++, incorporating LLVM to compile bytecode to machine code at runtime. The bytecode compiler and vast majority of the core classes are written in pure Ruby.
Here are the rbx experiments done by Brent Rowland
fb now builds fine but won’t load due to missing rb_ary_freeze and rb_struct_new. #rbx

And yes the Linux tests for classic Ruby VM are all ok
Linux testing of the latest fb code went well. 32- and 64-bit Rubies
