[PHP] Using SQLite without hosting support
Assume you have a hosting account with PHP5 support, but no SQLite support. Yes, supposedly SQLite support is standard for PHP5, but there's no law that keeps someone from compiling PHP5 without SQLite support. So assuming that's the case, given that SQLite is a pretty simple product, is it possible to run PHP5 and use SQLite, even if support for it is not built in? The dl() function has some restrictions on it which might prohibit its use, so is there some way to use SQLite in this situation without resorting to using the dl() function? Paul -- Paul M.

RE: [PHP] Using SQLite without hosting support
Paul, I could be wrong on this but unless you have a dedicated server, you do not have the recompilation rights if the hosting company is worth anything. Richard L.

I have no desire to recompile PHP. But the hosting company is entirely capable of recompiling PHP without support for SQLite, if that's their preference. Paul -- Paul M.
