+PHP Drivers for the [[https://firebirdsql.org/|Firebird DBMS]] are now hosted on [[https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/php-firebird/|Github]]. Native mode drivers for PHP7.4+ are available for both Windows and Linux.
+The current ADOdb driver for Firebird is based on the original Interbase driver. It is currently under redevelopment by an ADOdb community contributor. For more information on this, see the Issue Tracker on [[https://github.com/ADOdb/ADOdb/issues/201|Github]]. There is also a functional [[v6:database:pdo#firebird|PDO driver for Firebird]] available. Both versions support:
+  * Firebird 3
+  * Dialog version 3
