Copy libsqlite3.dll that comes with php (in my case, php-7.4.0-Win32-vc15-x86.zip) to somewhere in the Windows path (in my case, I chose c:\windows\). Then restart the web server. Go to phpinfo.php: that shows the PDO drivers: sqlite and SQLite Library 3.30.1. So this is not a bug, but a change in how to install PHP that is not documented in https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration74.windows-support.php. Please close this bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-12-13 16:15:01] silverwoodchuck47 at yahoo dot com How much troubleshooting have you done? As much as I can do. That's why I wrote this bug report. Any errors? Yes, as shown in Actual result. And are you using libsqlite >= 3.5.0 as stated in the documentation? I don't know. How does one check? It doesn't show up in phpinfo. Should it? The sentence "As of PHP 7.4.0 » libsqlite ≥ 3.5.0 is required." in the documentation is not helpful to me. The link goes to the sqlite website, but there is no "libsqlite" file that I can find. Does "libsqlite" refer to "libsqlite3.dll" that comes with the php-7.4.0-Win32-vc15-x86.zip? If it does, can the documentation be improved for those of us who are not professional programmers? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-12-13 04:13:29] requinix@php.net Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug.
