SQLite3 class in PHP 5.3

[Tibaso]

Hi, I'm new to this board. My first question:

 

Is there any reason to use the new PHP 5.3 class SQLite3 instead of PDO?

I think you are confused.

 

sqlite2 versus sqlite3

 

pdo is a way to manage and display through database objects

 

So in essence you use sqlite3 and pdo together.

No, I am not confused, PHP 5.3 introduced the new class SQLite3:

 

http://php.net/manual/de/book.sqlite3.php

 

I am working already for quite a while with PDO and sqlite3 but now I was reading about the new php class SQLite3 and it works almost the same like PDO except it is only for SQLite3 databases and can not wrap other databases. So since at the moment I am writing an application that uses only sqlite, I am wondering if there is any advantages to use SQLite3 instead of PDO.

Accessing Sqlite3. Just like any database, there is usually a interface provided besides what PDO might provide.

 

It would however be more beneficial to stick with PDO, as it will make changing databases in the future (if need be) allot easier.
