Answer 1

You can't connect to Firebase Database with the same way as MySQL.
You need to use one of these lib :
kreait/firebase-php
ktamas77/firebase-php
Or use the REST API.
Or create a Firebase Cloud Function which delete your wanted data and call it from the php with an HTTP trigger.

Answer 2

You can use this php code
$db = 'IP:C:/folders/files.FDB'; // Computer IP:Database file in drive and folders
$username = 'user';
$password = 'pass';
// Connect to database
$dbh = ibase_connect($db,$username,$password);
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM TABLE';
// Execute query
$rc = ibase_query($dbh, $sql);
// Get the result row by row as object
while ($row = ibase_fetch_object($rc)) {
echo $row->table_column;
}
// Release the handle associated with the result of the query
ibase_free_result($rc);
// Release the handle associated with the connection
ibase_close($dbh);
*And don't forget to install firebase extension to Web Server because it is not enabled by default.
