#32938 [NEW]: SQLITE extension vs built in for version 3.x

From: randy at rcs-comp dot com Operating system: Windows PHP version: 5CVS-2005-05-04 (dev) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: SQLITE extension vs built in for version 3.x Description: ------------ I have read most of the bugs on Sqlite 3.x for PHP. The concencous from the PHP developers appears to be that Sqlite 3.x is not necessary since it will be included in PDO. In addition, 3.x support can be enabled on Linux by recompiling. Unfortunately, I am using Windows. I am sure it is possible to recompile PHP on windows, but it sure doesn't sound like fun. I would like to propose moving SQLite support into an extension for PHP on Windows and compiling a 2.x and 3.x extension. That would allow windows users to use the new libraries without compromising backwards compatability. As for the PDO argument, I think it is important to recognize that a lot of us are using PEAR:DB, ADODB, Creole, etc and that PDO support in these DB abstraction layers may be a while in coming. It would be nice to user their native support for SQLite and get the benefits of 3.x as well. I realize that this is probably beating a dead horse, but I felt my perspective was a little different. Thanks. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32938&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=32938&r=mysqlcfg
