I do not use PDO

#apt-get install php5-interbase

You do not need to install firebird on local machine PHP sample code

    $dbh = ibase_pconnect("remote_server_ip:db_file", "user_name", "user_password") or die('die message');
    $q = ibase_query($dbh, "select * from some_table");
    while ($r = ibase_fetch_object($q)) {
        $some_value = $r->SOME_FIELD;
        echo $some_value;
    }
