Req #52026 [Asn->Wfx]: Update SQLite bundled with PHP 5.2.x

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52026&edit=1 ID: 52026 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported by: gmtfn at yahoo dot com Summary: Update SQLite bundled with PHP 5.2.x -Status: Assigned +Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: PDO related PHP Version: 5.2.13 Assigned To: iliaa New Comment: The sqlite 3.3 library used in 5.2 is not binary compatible with the 3.6 version that is now considered to be stable, doing an upgrade in a bug-fix release that may break BC could create a substantial WTF factor. Many distros build sqlite against an external lib, so upgrading that lib would be the solution. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-09 12:39:12] gmtfn at yahoo dot com Yes, I meant pdo_sqlite. Where can I read about native sqlite3 extension in 5.3 and, particularly, its benefits and drawbacks compared to pdo_sqlite? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-09 12:22:19] johannes@php.net Eh didn't mean to bogus it ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-09 12:20:32] johannes@php.net Note that we're bundling two sqlite libraries. ext/sqlite bundles 2.8.17 which can't be updated (as SQLite 2 isn't supported upstream anymore). ext/pdo_sqlite bundles 3.3.7 which indeed might deserve an update. The addition of the native sqlite3 extension in 5.3 made it divert. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-09 11:20:04] kalle@php.net Hi Ilia, as the RM for 5.2, could please decide whether 5.2 should be updated or not :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-09 07:02:15] gmtfn at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ PHP 5.2.13, which is the latest version of 5.2.x branch, bundles a version of SQLite that is almost 3 years old. Please update it! Hosting providers are reluctant to provide PHP 5.3, which supplies a newer version of SQLite. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52026&edit=1
