(PHP 5 < 5.4.0)
Opens an SQLite database and returns an SQLiteDatabase object
SQLiteDatabase sqlite_factory ( string $filename [, int $mode = 0666 [, string &$error_message ]] )
sqlite_factory() behaves similarly to sqlite_open() in that it opens an SQLite database or attempts to create it if it does not exist. However, a SQLiteDatabase object is returned rather than a resource. Please see the sqlite_open() reference page for further usage and caveats.
Parameters:
filename
The filename of the SQLite database.
mode
The mode of the file. Intended to be used to open the database in read-only mode. Presently, this parameter is ignored by the sqlite library. The default value for mode is the octal value 0666 and this is the recommended value.
error_message
Passed by reference and is set to hold a descriptive error message explaining why the database could not be opened if there was an error.
Returns:
Returns an SQLiteDatabase object on success, NULL on error.
Examples:
sqlite_factory() example
<?php
$dbhandle = sqlite_factory('sqlitedb');
$dbhandle->query('SELECT user_id, username FROM users');
/* functionally equivalent to: */
$dbhandle = new SQLiteDatabase('sqlitedb');
$dbhandle->query('SELECT user_id, username FROM users');
?>
