SQLite Overview

As with any database system the first thing you must do is open a database. Since SQLite is based on files opening a database differs very little from opening a regular file.


<?php
$db = sqlite_open("./ip.db", 0666, $error) 
    or die("Failed to connect because: ".$error);
?>

Notes

• If a database does not a exist a new one will be created.

• Database path will be checked against safe_mode & open_basedir.

• If database path is :memory: will create a memory only database.

• In the future the 2nd argument will allow opening the database in read-only mode.
