Question

I know PHP 5 already supports SQLite but for some reason I can’t get it to work.

I followed the instructions from SQLite tutorial: Getting started. I also made sure that the following are not commented out from php.ini:

extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll 
extension=php_sqlite.dll.

But when I open the PHP file from localhost using Firefox, I get this error:

Fatal error: Class ‘SQLiteDatabase’ not found.

I’m on Windows by the way, if that info matters.

What may be the cause of this problem?

I think the class SQLiteDatabase is from the extension sqlite rather pdo_sqlite. So you could enable the sqlite extension, or use PDO instead:

<?php
$conn = new PDO('sqlite:c:/mydb.sq3');
$conn->exec('some sql query');
