I want to install the Symfony framework on my MAMP stack. However, when I try to run it, Symfony complains that I need to “Install and enable the SQLite3 or PDO_SQLite extension.” I don’t know how to do this. I have sqlite3 installed

$ sqlite3 --version
3.4.0

Also I have php 5.3.6. I see that there is a MacPorts package called php5-sqlite3, but it is marked “obsolete port.”

What is the correct way to enable the sqlite3 extension on MAMP? I have Leopard 10.5.8.

Edit: I ended up solving the problem by installing the MacPorts package php5-sqlite (without the 3). Then it still didn’t work. Then I reinstalled the MacPorts php5 package using +sqlite. Then everything worked. So, that’s:

$ sudo port install php5-sqlite
$ sudo port uninstall php5
$ sudo port install php5 +apache2 +sqlite

I hope that’ll help anyone who stumbles onto this…
