I'm currently having issues trying to install interbase support (interbase PHP extension) on my Mac MAMP PRO installation (with PHP 5.5 selected).

Here are the steps I did and didn't enable it:

cd Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.26/include/php/ext/interbase

phpize

./configure --with-php-config=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.26/bin/php-config

make

make install

It tells me that the library has been successfully installed:

Libraries have been installed in:
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.26/include/php/ext/interbase/modules

And it also tells me that the MAMP extensions has been updated:

Installing shared extensions:    
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.26/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/

After all these steps and restarting Apache, I can find the interbase.so file inside this folder, but I don't see the extension enabled in phpinfo() or get_loaded_extensions().

Can someone give me some help with this issue ?

I'm having this LOG error message:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'interbase.so' in Unknown on line 0

Thanks a lot, it's really appreciated!

Edit: I did have put an extension=interbase.so in my php.ini MAMP template.

Add/uncoment extension in php.ini.

Find for extension in php.ini:

;extension=php_interbase.dll

and uncomment/add it:

extension=interbase/modules/php_interbase.dll

Also, check if you properly configured extensions directory:

extension_dir = "/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.26/include/php/ext"

  • Thanks ! However I've already put the extension line within my php.ini file. Thanks though. Also, my extension_dir is set to a MAMP variable. – David Pearson Sep 10 '15 at 20:49
  • Also, there isn't dll file in a Mac system. It's interbase.so. – David Pearson Sep 10 '15 at 20:49
  • i've just copied line from my php.ini on win machine =) hovewer, do you certain, that yours `extension=` line in conjunction with `extension_dir = ` line points exactly to the folder, where your's `interbase.so` resides? – ankhzet Sep 10 '15 at 20:57
  • yes ! 100% certain! :) My folder is : /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.26/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/ and contains interbase.so. – David Pearson Sep 10 '15 at 21:04
  • and you certain, that server is using php from your's MAMP folder, not the default installed one? – ankhzet Sep 10 '15 at 21:13
  • As per my phpinfo(): extension_dir => /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.26/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/ => /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.26/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/ – David Pearson Sep 10 '15 at 21:21
  • @DavidPearson, did you checked [this](http://php.net/manual/en/ibase.installation.php#94268)? – ankhzet Sep 10 '15 at 21:29
  • that's exactly what I tried to do earlier, but nothing has worked. I'm sure this is something very specific that I miss. – David Pearson Sep 11 '15 at 12:26
  • I just discovered that I have this log error message : PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'interbase.so' in Unknown on line 0 – David Pearson Sep 11 '15 at 14:54

I just followed every steps within this post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/24690411/3032516 and I recompiled php with the --with-php-config flag and it solved my issue.

Also, this link was very helpful to me: https://jellystyle.com/2012/12/installing-php-extensions-with-mamp

    mark this answer as accepted, or other users with same problem may wrongly recognize my upvoted answer as "right", or even close the tab as it seems to lack accepted answer, so - not solved. – ankhzet Sep 11 '15 at 18:10
