README

To use this package:

Installation

Install the Firebird PDO driver for PHP.

Mariuz's Blog has a very good step by step on this: http://mapopa.blogspot.com/2009/04/php5-and-firebird-pdo-on-ubuntu-hardy.html

Install using composer:

composer require rsfera/laravel-firebird

Update the app/config/app.php, add the service provider:

'Firebird\FirebirdServiceProvider'.

For Laravel 6.0 and later:

Firebird\FirebirdServiceProvider::class,

You can remove the original DatabaseServiceProvider, as the original connection factory has also been extended.

Declare your connection in the database config, using 'firebird' as the connecion type. Other keys that are needed:

'firebird' => [
    'driver'   => 'firebird',
    'host'     => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
    'database' => env('DB_DATABASE','/storage/firebird/APPLICATION.FDB'),
    'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'sysdba'),
    'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', 'masterkey'),
    'charset'  => env('DB_CHARSET', 'UTF8'),
    'role'     => 'RDB$ADMIN',
    'engine_version' => '3.0.4',
],

And add to your .env

DB_CHARSET=UTF8

If necessary, change the UTF8 to any other charset

This package is a branch jacquestvanzuydam/laravel-firebird package and extends its functionality. Tested on Laravel-6.0.
