SQLite changes

If you use SQLite, then in PHP 5, you’ll need to switch to using PHP’s Data Object method of accessing data instead of the SQLite3 dynamic library that you used under PHP 4. We will have the SQLite3 dynamic library installed until at least June 1 2008, but afterwards it will no longer be supported and will disappear at any time. We’ll keep it installed for as long as it continues to work, but will remove it as soon as it fails.

You should update your pages soon. Our SQLite documentation has been updated with examples of using the new system.

If you aren’t using SQLite, of course, you don’t have to worry about this. You probably know if you’re using SQLite or not: SQLite is a file-based database which means that you will have had to create a SQLite file in your account at some point in order to use it.
