SQLite3, php5 and MAMP


To make this short, php5 doesn’t come with sqlite3 support out of the box. My setup is as follows :

  • SQLite3 installed through MacPorts
  • php5 used through MAMP

I used the php-sqlite3 extension. When you run phpize, make sure you are actually using the one from MAMP by calling it with its full path  /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/phpize.

I then complied the extension with the following flags (both paths are the defaults for macports and MAMP) :

./configure --with-sqlite3=/opt/local/ --with-php-config=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin/php-config

The make install didn’t copy the librarie to the right php folder :

>make install
Installing shared extensions:     /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/

Make sure that folder is the right one. You can find your dynamic extensions folder in your php.ini file
