Description:
------------
I created a file test.php:

<?php
  $pdo = new PDO("firebird:host=localhost;dbname=TESTDB", "sysdba", "masterkey");
  var_dump($pdo);
?>

Note that there exists an alias TESTDB to *FDB file in Firebird configuration.

When I 'run' this file in a web browser i get:
object(PDO)#1 (0) { } 
which I think is correct since after var_dump($pdo) I can retrieve records from this database without any problem.

However, in command line ("php test.php" in cmd) var_dump($pdo) returns NULL. Is it correct?
It causes many problems espacially in a Symfony framework (>=1.2) where you build sql files and execute them through command line.

Note that in my case DSN is correct and NULL should not be returned in CLI.

Anyone to comfirm? Is it going to be fixed?

The DSN in the test.php above is incorrect:

<?php
  $pdo = new PDO("firebird:host=localhost;dbname=TESTDB", "sysdba",
"masterkey");
  var_dump($pdo);
?>

it should be:

<?php
  $pdo = new PDO("firebird:dbname=localhost:TESTDB", "sysdba",
"masterkey");
  var_dump($pdo);
?>

I forgot to mention that sometimes in Windows you have to modify file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\services.
You need to add the following line in order to connect to the GDS services:

gds        3050/tcp            #Firebird Database port number

And that's it.
It took me 2 hours to read the error message and realize what the problem was.
