<h2 class="title">Introduction</h2>
<p class="para">
PDO_SQLITE is a driver that implements the <a href="intro.pdo.html" class="link">PHP
Data Objects (PDO) interface</a> to enable access to SQLite 3 databases.
</p>
<p class="para">
In PHP 5.1, the <a href="ref.sqlite.html" class="link">SQLite</a> extension also
provides a driver for SQLite 2 databases; while it is not technically a
part of the PDO_SQLITE driver, it behaves similarly, so it is
documented alongside it. The SQLite 2 driver for PDO is provided
primarily to make it easier to import legacy SQLite 2 database files into
an application that uses the faster, more efficient SQLite 3 driver. As
a result, the SQLite 2 driver is not as feature-rich as the SQLite 3
driver.

<blockquote class="note"><p><strong class="note">Note</strong>:
<p class="para">
PDO_SQLITE allows using strings apart from streams together with
<strong><code>PDO::PARAM_LOB</code></strong>.

<h2 class="title">Installation</h2>
<p class="para">
The PDO_SQLITE PDO driver is enabled by default. To disable,
<strong class="option configure">--without-pdo-sqlite[=DIR]</strong>
may be used,
where the optional <em>[=DIR]</em> is the sqlite base install directory.
