Create new database in php with SQLite3

Question

How to create a new database in php with SQLite3 ?
$db = new SQLite3($dbname);
just open, but I want to create if not exist.
thanks you for your help.

Answer 1

To create you do use the new statement -

//create or open (if exists) the database
$database = new SQLite3('myDatabase.sqlite');

If you have named a database that doesn't exist it should get created.
