Installation
Read the INSTALL file, which comes with the package. Or just use the PEAR
installer with pecl install sqlite.
SQLite itself is already included, You do not need to install
any additional software.
Windows users will enable php_sqlite.dll inside
of php.ini in order to use these functions.
The DLL for this PECL extension
may be downloaded from either the
» PHP Downloads page or from
» http://pecl4win.php.net/
In PHP 5, the SQLite extension and the engine itself are bundled and
compiled by default. However, since PHP 5.1.0 you need to manually
activate the extension in php.ini (because it is now bundled as
shared). Moreover, since PHP 5.1.0 SQLite depends on PDO it must be enabled too, by adding the
following lines to php.ini (in order):
On Linux or Unix operating systems, if you build PDO as a shared
extension, you must build SQLite as a shared extension using the
--with-sqlite=shared configure option.
SQLite 3 is supported through PDO SQLite.
Note:
Windows installation for unprivileged accounts
On Windows operating systems, unprivileged accounts don't have the
TMP environment variable set by default. This will
make sqlite create temporary files in the windows directory, which is
not desirable. So, you should set the TMP environment
variable for the web server or the user account the web server is
running under. If Apache is your web server, you can accomplish this via
a SetEnv directive in your httpd.conf file. For
example:
If you are unable to establish this setting at the server
level, you can implement the setting in your script:
The setting must refer to a directory that the web server
has permission to create files in and subsequently write
to and delete the files it created.
Otherwise, you may receive the following error message:
malformed database schema -
unable to open a temporary database file for storing temporary tables
