Opening SQLite3 as READONLY with PDO?

Question

The SQLite3 Class has an option like this.

$db = new SQLite3('mysqlitedb.db', SQLITE3_OPEN_READONLY);

In PDO you would simply open with:

$db = new PDO('sqlite:mysqlitedb.db');

My question is however, is there a way to open a database with PDO, in READONLY mode?

Answer 1

This will become possible with the release of PHP 7.3 (estimated for release in late 2018).

The syntax is as follows:

$db = new PDO('sqlite:mysqlitedb.db', null, null, [PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS => PDO::SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY]);
