I have a similar setup than you (Linux host, I have no control over the system, just the files in my directory) and I have been able to successfully use SQLite with PHP. You can choose to create your databases from within PHP code, or alternatively use a graphical frontend (like for example the firefox extension called SQLite Manager) to create the database file and upload it to a directory in your web host.
You can start here http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.sqlite.php reading on the different functions to interact with SQLite from within PHP code. Hope this helps! // -------------------------------------- Enrique Ramirez Irizarry Lead Developer Indie Code Labs http://www.indiecodelabs.com On Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 7:52 AM, Graeme Pietersz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Friday 17 October 2008 16:39:32 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >> > only compiled and linked into an application.
