Error: file is encrypted or is not a database
(7 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I have an SQLite database and am trying to connect to it with PHP. This is what I'm using:
<?php
$dbconn = sqlite_open('combadd.sqlite');
if ($dbconn) {
$result = sqlite_query($dbconn, "SELECT * FROM combo_calcs WHERE options='easy'");
var_dump(sqlite_fetch_array($result, SQLITE_ASSOC));
} else {
print "Connection to database failed!\n";
}
?>
However, I get this error:
Warning: sqlite_open() [function.sqlite-open]: file is encrypted or is not a database in C:\xampp\htdocs\deepthi\combadd\combadd_db.php on line 4
Connection to database failed!
What's wrong and how can I fix it?

Answer 1

Try to use PDO instead of sqlite_open:
$dir = 'sqlite:/[YOUR-PATH]/combadd.sqlite';
$dbh = new PDO($dir) or die("cannot open the database");
$query = "SELECT * FROM combo_calcs WHERE options='easy'";
foreach ($dbh->query($query) as $row)
{
echo $row[0];
}
$dbh = null; //This is how you close a PDO connection

Connecting To Database
Following PHP code shows how to connect to an existing database. If database does not exist, then it will be created and finally a database object will be returned.
<?php
class MyDB extends SQLite3
{
function __construct()
{
$this->open('combadd.sqlite');
}
}
$db = new MyDB();
if(!$db){
echo $db->lastErrorMsg();
} else {
echo "Opened database successfully\n";
}
?>
Now let's run above program to create our database test.db in the current directory. You can change your path as per your requirement. If database is successfully created then it will give following message:
Open database successfully
SELECT Operation
Following PHP program shows how we can fetch and display records
<?php
class MyDB extends SQLite3
{
function __construct()
{
$this->open('combadd.sqlite');
}
}
$db = new MyDB();
if(!$db){
echo $db->lastErrorMsg();
} else {
echo "Opened database successfully\n";
}
$sql =<<<EOF
SELECT * FROM combo_calcs WHERE options='easy';
EOF;
$ret = $db->query($sql);
while($row = $ret->fetchArray(SQLITE3_ASSOC) ){
echo "ID = ". $row['ID'] . "\n";
}
echo "Operation done successfully\n";
$db->close();
?>

Answer 3

<?php
if ($db = sqlite_open('sampleDB', 0666, $sqliteerror) ) {
$result = sqlite_query($db, 'select bar from foo');
var_dump(sqlite_fetch_array($result) );
} else {
die($sqliteerror);
}
?>
Make sure sqlite support is enable, check phpinfo()
One another solution to your problem is:
Using sqlite3 module instead
class DB extends SQLite3
{
function __construct( $file )
{
$this->open( $file );
}
}
$db = new DB( 'sampleDB.sqlite' );
