Firebird ODBC driver v3.0
Firebird Project is glad to announce the general availability of Firebird ODBC driver version 3.0. New driver is build on top the new Firebird client API, and can work with Firebird clients from versions 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0.
Download new driver binaries and sources from Firebird ODBC Github (and don’t forget to give a star to the project)!
This version is a rework of v2 to implement modern Firebird Object-Oriented API inside an ODBC driver. In addition it contains a fixpack for many known issues, see ChangeLog_v3.0 for details.
Please note that v3.0 driver is intended to work only with Firebird clients from version 3.0 and later (i.e., 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 at the moment). If you have fbclient.dll from 2.5 or some older version, it is incompatible.
You can see more details here: https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird-odbc-driver/wiki

PHP 8.4 Improvements when working with modern Firebird versions
From firebirdsql.org:
PHP 8.4 beta 5 has been released, marking a significant milestone for PHP developers, particularly those working with Firebird databases. This update brings crucial enhancements to the built-in PDO-Firebird driver. Now supporting modern data types, including DECFLOAT, the driver offers substantial benefits for PHP applications using Firebird 4 and 5.
This improved Firebird support in standard PHP will streamline development of Firebird-based PHP applications, making the process more straightforward and transparent. For an in-depth look at these enhancements, check out the new article “PHP 8.4 Improvements when working with modern Firebird versions“.
