Description
Legacy PHP 8.0 applications can store and query data in local SQLite files. This runtime extension suits small apps, caches, tests, embedded tools, and single-host services that need a lightweight database without a server. It is dependency-only and has no separate launcher; PHP code uses it after the extension is enabled. File paths, permissions, backups, locking, and prepared statements matter because SQLite files can hold private records and can be corrupted by unsafe writes.
