Php – SQLite on latest PHP (>= 5.4)

peclPHPsqlite

http://www.php.net/manual/en/sqlite.installation.php

Beginning with PHP 5.4, this extension is available only via PECL.

http://pecl.php.net/package/SQLite

This package is not maintained anymore and has been superseded.

So, how am I supposed to get SQLite on PHP?

I guess downgrading to PHP 5.3 would work, but is that wise?

From the release announcement:

ext/sqlite3 and ext/pdo_sqlite are not affected

Hence you should be converting your code to use sqlite3. There's a crude shim for the procedural API in the comments here.

Centos – How to install a custom (patched) PECL extension

If you have the (patched) extension source code locally you can bypass PECL entirely:

# cd extension_dir
# phpize
# ./configure
# make
# make install

(phpize is a binary that comes with PHP - It prepares the extension to be compiled, the rest is pretty straightforward).

Install Mailparse Extension via PECL Without Recompiling PHP

Your best option is to install the PECL package as you were doing, the problem you have there is that you're missing the php headers, they're necessary for any compilation involving php code.

Try downloading the headers (available in the source code package) and copying them were PECL is complaining until you get your PECL module compiled.

Best of lucks! This is an exciting task :)
