ibase_query - Execute a query on an InterBase database

SYNOPSIS
       resource ibase_query ([resource	$link_identifier], string  $query, [int  $bind_args])

DESCRIPTION
	Performs a query on an InterBase database.

PARAMETERS
	      o $link_identifier
		- An InterBase link identifier. If omitted, the last opened link is assumed.

	      o $query
		- An InterBase query.

	      o $bind_args
		-

RETURN VALUES
	If the query raises an error, returns FALSE. If it is successful and there is a (possibly empty) result set (such as with a SELECT query),
       returns a result identifier. If the query was successful and there were no results, returns TRUE.

       Note

	       In PHP 5.0.0 and up, this function will return the number of rows affected by the query for INSERT, UPDATE and  DELETE  statements.
	      In  order  to  retain  backward compatibility, it will return TRUE for these statements if the query succeeded without affecting any
	      rows.

ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS
	If you get some error like "arithmetic exception, numeric overflow, or string truncation. Cannot transliterate character between character
       sets"  (this  occurs  when you try use some character with accents) when using this and after ibase_query(3) you must set the character set
       (i.e. ISO8859_1 or your current character set).
