"In fact, we have the same problem, our inability to use SQLite3
databases in a way natively supported by PHP (PDO::SQLite3)."
My problem was as follows:
-> Upon installing php5-sqlite3, the sqlite driver is not added to PDO, and I
cannot connect to an SQLite3 database
-> Upon installing php5-sqlite in addition to the aformentioned package, both
the "sqlite" (3) and "sqlite2" drivers are added to PDO, and I _can_ connect to
an SQLite3 database
Caveats:
-> I've only tested this process under Gutsy, and my Ubuntu-laden notebook
recently died
-> I have not tested by first installing php5-sqlite, and then installing
php5-sqlite3
However, on a hunch, I've looked within the deb files of both packages
in Gutsy's repos, and I believe I've found the issue.
Both packages contain the proper shared objects: sqlite.so ("classic
interface") and pdo_sqlite.so for php5-sqlite; pdo_sqlite3.so for
php5-sqlite3.
However, if you look in the control directory of each, you'll find that
php5-sqlite has a proper postinstallation script, whereas php5-sqlite3
does not.
A regular expression within php5-sqlite's postinstallation script looks
like it would match pdo_sqlite3.so in addition to the shared objects it
was intended to match.
The problem, thus, seems to be that php5-sqlite3 copies the proper files
to their proper locations, but does not register them in php.ini; when
php5-sqlite is installed, its postinstallation script does so not only
for its own drivers, but for php5-sqlite3's as well.
Looking inside the Hardy packages, they exhibit the same issue.
I don't know if this is a Debian issue or an Ubuntu issue, but in any
case, unless I am completely off-base here, _a_maintainer_ needs to add
a postinstallation script to php5-sqlite3.
