ibase_blob_import() import correctly BMP images only. It doesn't support
other image formats as GIF, JPEG, TIFF etc, specified in InterBase
manual. AVI and MOV videos not supported too, didn't test the sound and
others BLOB objects.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

<?php
$db = ibase_connect("localhost:c:\db.gdb", "user", "password");
$filename = "c:\\image.bmp";
$fp = fopen ($filename, "r");
$blob_id_str = ibase_blob_import($fp);
ibase_blob_echo($blob_id_str);
/*inserting to the database*/
?>
if BMP image all is OK, but if i want import any other format as gif, jpeg, etc (see previous) it's echo the string, not picture. And it's inserting wrong data to the database. 
Database error messages: Unable to display blob. The format is not graphical. (for all types - gif, jpg, tif, png)
Detail message:
1)Bitmap image is not valid (except png);
2)Stream read error(for png)

//inserting to the database
$blob_id_str = ibase_blob_import($fp);
$q1 = "insert into table1 values(1, ?)";
$r1 = ibase_query($db, $q1, $blob_id_str);

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

what kind of info do you need? please tell me particularly.

CVS snapshot works worse then php 4.2.2

InterBase manual quotation:
How are Blob data stored?
Blob is the InterBase datatype that represents various objects, such as bitmapped images, sound, video, and text. Before you store these items in the database, you create or manage them as platform- or product-specific files or data structures, such as:
1)TIFF, PICT, BMP, WMF, GEM, TARGA or other bitmapped or vector-graphic files.
2)MIDI or WAV sound files.
3)Audio Video Interleaved format (.AVI ) or QuickTime video files.
4)ASCII, MIF, DOC, RTF, WPx or other text files.
5)CAD files.
You must load these files from memory into the database programmatically, as you do any other host-language data items or records you intend to store in InterBase.

4.2.2 release news quatation:
1)Better Interbase blob, null and error handling. (Patch by Jeremy Bettis)
2)Added Win32 project for the Interbase module (Zeev)
3)Ported InterBase module finally from PHP 3 to PHP 4. Full support for   InterBase 6. (Jouni)

Always(!) use "rb" when fopening binary files under Windows.
Does this resolve the problem??

Let me clarify that:
Dont use:
  fopen ($filename, "r");
use this instead
  fopen ($filename, "rb");

No feedback was provided. The bug is being suspended because
we assume that you are no longer experiencing the problem.
If this is not the case and you are able to provide the
information that was requested earlier, please do so and
change the status of the bug back to "Open". Thank you.

Interbase doesn't *display* BLOBs, only store them. There's no way Interbase will complain about a format 'not being graphical'
