How can I create a CRUD with Codeigniter using SQLite? - php

Question

I'm starting a new project where I want to use Codeigniter with SQLite. I searched information about this and I managed to conect and get data from my SQLite database but I have no idea of how can I create a CRUD for a table with this, I'm trying to do it the same way I did in the past with MySQL buy it is not working.
Here is what I did:
config/database.php
$db['default'] = array(
'dsn' => '',
'hostname' => '',
'username' => '',
'password' => '',
'database' => APPPATH.'/database/Pasapalabra.sqlite',
'dbdriver' => 'sqlite3',
'dbprefix' => '',
'pconnect' => FALSE,
'db_debug' => (ENVIRONMENT !== 'production'),
'cache_on' => FALSE,
'cachedir' => '',
'char_set' => 'utf8',
'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',
'swap_pre' => '',
'encrypt' => FALSE,
'compress' => FALSE,
'stricton' => FALSE,
'failover' => array(),
'save_queries' => TRUE
);
config/autoload.php
$autoload['libraries'] = array('database');
models/modelo_prueba.php
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
class modelo_prueba extends CI_Model {
public function getTestData() {
return $this->db->get('preguntas')->result();
}
}
?>
controllers/Welcome.php
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->load->library("grocery_CRUD");
}
public function prueba() {
$this->load->model('modelo_prueba');
$dataSet = $this->modelo_prueba->getTestData();
$this->load->view('data_view', [
'dataSet' => $dataSet
]);
}
views/data_view.php
<h4>Lets test the data</h4>
<?php
if($dataSet) {
foreach($dataSet as $dataItem) {
echo $dataItem->definicion . "<hr>";
}
}
?>
<h5>done!</h5>
This worked for me, it shows correctly all data in 'preguntas' database, but now I'm trying to create a CRUD just like I usually do with MySQL and it's working, it shows a database error.
The only thing that I have changed from the code of above is Welcome.php
public function prueba() {
$crud = new Grocery_CRUD();
$crud->set_table('preguntas');
$output = $crud->render();
$this->load->view("example.php", $output);
}
The error that is shown in the screen is the following:
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning

A Database Error Occurred
Error Number: 0
not an error
SHOW COLUMNS FROM `preguntas`
Filename: C:/xampp/htdocs/Pasapalabra_Isidro/system/database/DB_driver.php
Line Number: 691
Anyone knows what is happening? There isn't any error with the database connection because the previous code worked, but it's like Grocery CRUD can't create a CRUD of an SQLite.
I'm working with Codeigniter 3.1.4 and I created the SQLite database with SQLite Manager (Firefox) 0.8.3.1
Thank you for your answers.

Hi I have found solution from grocery crud form post with works with sqlite3 you have to modify Grocery curd library first copy sqlite3 model from this link
http://www.grocerycrud.com/forums/topic/651-suport-for-sqlite3/
this model extending grocery_crud_model, just include grocery_crud_model in your sqlite model.
in grocery crud library find grocery_crud_model, where it is loading this model just replace with grocery_crud_sqlite3, and you are done. it will work perfect.
just remember you have to modify these lines manually on each update in future.
