I just tried to install on SQLite 3.3.7, I had the choice of SQLite 3 on the database details page, but on the table creation page, it said the database engine was SQLite 4. Minor thing but I don't know if it now thinks it's using SQLite 4 or 3.
I can reproduce this on the SQLite 3.3.7.
Just FYI, in ./inc/config.php it says the database type in sqlite3, it's just on the table creation page it shows up as being 4 instead of 3.
I'm not 100% on this to be honest, but I think this could be PHP's problem. During the install, the database version isn't set - it's retrieved using ATTR_SERVER_VERSION, which means it's just displaying what your server is telling it too. I think (I can't find it at the minute) there was a bug with this returning incorrect values in some versions of PHP.
I believe ATTR_SERVER_VERSION talks about the SQLite API version, not the actual SQlite release version.
If there is a better way we can display the version, then we should use that.
Just noticed the ACP home also says the SQL Engine is SQLite 4.
Just for clarity:
- I have SQLite 3.3.7
- The database details page in the installer gives the option of SQLite 3
- The table creation page says SQLite 4
- ./inc/config.php says SQLite 3
- The ACP home page says SQLite 4
I believe this is the correct implementation on MyBB's end. Unless there is a "better" way of telling the "version" of SQLite installed, this is currently the best way.
Quote: PDO::ATTR_SERVER_VERSION (integer)
This is a read only attribute; it will return information about the version of the database server to which PDO is connected.
http://php.net/manual/en/pdo.constants.php
I haven't looked at the code, but
$ php -a
Interactive shell
php > $pdo = new PDO("sqlite:/tmp/foo.db");
php > var_dump($pdo->getAttribute(PDO::ATTR_CLIENT_VERSION));
string(6) "3.6.16"
php > var_dump($pdo->getAttribute(PDO::ATTR_SERVER_VERSION));
string(6) "3.6.16"
(this result is correct, and I get the same result when putting those lines in a foo.php that I run via the webserver)
But in MyBB install it shows this:
Quote:Table Creation
Connection to the database server and table you specified was successful.
Database Engine: SQLite 4
Actually your right - Why is it saying SQLite 4 - that doens't even exist yet. Maybe a typo on my part.
Thank you for your bug report.
