I guess this is the essence of what I meant when I (perhaps wrongly) said 'built in'. Wow, I never would have thought that such a small slip in terminology would create a stir. After all I wasn't discussing the technicalities of the SQLite implementation under PHP, simply the fact that it is included with PHP5 (no need to grab third party libs etc) and it looked like a handy tool.On Sat, 21 Feb 2004 17:21:11 +1100 Matthew Palmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I have had a little look at SQLite that is built in to php5, looks neat.
Meaning distributed with I guess.
Built into PHP5? It's a separate application library with bindings for
multiple languages. AFAIK, it's no more "built-in" to PHP5 than it is built
into Perl, Python, or C++.
None of Perl, Python or C++ are distributed with sqlite.

Anyhow once PHP5 is compiled (or built) it seems to me that it _is_ 'built in' (compiled in), there is no need to have a separate R/DBMS installed on your system such is the case when using MySQL, Postgresql and others with PHP.
(no doubt there are more badly used terms here too! ;-) )
