php-5.1.5 without sqlite3 support? View as Markdown

SQLite 3 support is available in PHP 5.2.0 (currently in release
process) through pdo_sqlite extension. There are no plans to add
support for sqlite3 for the sqlite extension at this time.

Hello,

compiling php ends with an error on my system:

checking for sqlite_open in -lsqlite... no
configure: error: wrong sqlite lib version or lib not found

This is likely to happen, because I'm working with sqlite3 instead
of sqlite 2.x:

ldconfig -p | grep sqlite
libsqlite3.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0
libsqlite3.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libsqlite3.so.0
libsqlite3.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so
libsqlite3.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libsqlite3.so

Sqlite 3.1.3 exists since Feb 19 2005, current release is 3.3.4.
Why doesn't php support it? sqlite 2.x and sqlite 3.x have a
different database format, so they are not compatible. All
functions are prefixed with sqlite3, e.g. sqlite3_open instead of
sqlite_open.

Is someone working on a --with-sqlite3 option?

Regards
Marten

SQLite3 is supported by PDO_SQLite.
ext/sqlite supports only SQLite2.
