PHP PDO_Firebird: looking for developers
If you’re a C programmer, know the PHP internals, and are willing to maintain the Firebird driver for PDO, please step in, since it isn’t in good shape.
The PHP Data Objects (PDO) extension defines a lightweight, consistent interface for accessing databases in PHP.

Thanks to DBAL (Database Abstraction Layer) and ADOdb api typo3 can be installed and used with firebird :
This means, not every aspect has been thoroughly checked, but TYPO3 has been installed from scratch successfully, BE logins are possible, and basic websites can be created (template, pages, content elements)

This update brings some new functionalities, more complete events support and will be shortly enhanced to bring full FB 2.0 compatibility (not that it shouldn’t work with FB 2.0 as is).

Morkif – Code free web developing
Recently I came across Morkif. Still haven’t lost much time with it, but it seems an integrated environment for “drag & drop” webpage development.
It combines AJAX, a small Apache Server and the Firebird database engine.
