Setup PHP to use Firebird

[gssj85]

I'm trying to find the reason why, on Laravel, the column alias can't go over 31 or so characters that they get messed, I believe it may have to do with the extension but I'm not much expert on the setup part of PHP, extensions, etc...

So far I have PHP 8.1, and it is installed with APT php8.1-interbase

My question is, first of all, what is this lib (the one in this repository) for? is it the same as php8.1-interbase?

If I started a project from zero today how would be the setup?

I'm using Laravel but I dont think it has to do with anything, the column alias does go right but when it return, even using raw PDO to query it comes already with a lot of hexadecimals in the name, if the name is too long.

All database objects have names, often called identifiers. The maximum identifier length is 31 bytes

Also laravel driver is using pdo firebird included in php source so is not related to this driver
