PDO_FIREBIRD DSN — Connecting to Firebird and Interbase databases
ritsaert
The connection string for a firebird PDO connection is different than described above. It is something like:
$DB = new PDO("firebird:dbname=T:\\Klimreg.GDB", "SYSDBA", "masterkey");
after dbname= the default connection string for Interbase and Firebird databases is used as presented to either gds32.dll or fbclient.dll.

if youre dsn syntax is wrong, see ritsaert's comment, there maybe no errormessage!

If you have a database alias on the server "localhost" called "test.fdb", you can do:
$conn = new PDO("firebird:dbname=localhost:test.fdb",
'SYSDBA','letmein');
Note that as of the time of writing, the Firebird driver doesn't correctly throw an exception on connection error

After much trial and error i found out you should use the following to connect to a firebird database:
<?php
$db = new PDO ("firebird:dbname=localhost:C:\\path\\to\\database\\MyDatabase.FDB", "username", "password");
?>
NOTE: in the 1st part of the connection string there can be NO spaces else you will get NULL.
The string provided on this site does not work and will give no error only NULL.
