Question

I use php+ apache on Fedora 16 fc16.x86_64.
I’m learning php and sqlite3 (using PDO). But my code doesn’t work whatever.

<?php
    try {
    $db = new PDO('sqlite:./z4.db');
    $db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
    $db->prepare('SELECT * FROM users;');
    $posts = $db->execute();

        echo "test test";
        echo '<ul>';
        while ($post = $posts->fetchObject()) {
        echo '<li>' . $post->content . '</li>';
        }
        echo '</ul>';


    } catch (Exception $e) {
    die($e);
    }
?>

sqlite 3 is OK, database file is ok,

After adding some extensions to php.ini it is warning:
Module ‘xyz’ already loaded on Unknown 0…
so I removed them.

Answer 1

When you execute php via the command line, you don’t generally execute the same php binary that your webserver runs. They can be different versions, and almost always have different php.ini and configs.

Use phpinfo() from a script run through the webserver. Use that to find a correct php.ini file to edit, then restart the webserver to make sure settings update.

turn on display_errors and set error_reporting to E_ALL
