## What is phpLiteAdmin?

phpLiteAdmin is a web-based SQLite database admin tool written in PHP with
support for SQLite3 and SQLite2. Following in the spirit of the flat-file system
used by SQLite, phpLiteAdmin consists of a single source file, phpliteadmin.php,
that is dropped into a directory on a server and then visited in a browser.
There is no installation required. The available operations, feature set,
interface, and user experience is comparable to that of phpMyAdmin.

## Demo

A live demo of phpLiteAdmin can be found here:
https://demo.phpliteadmin.org/

## Requirements

-   a server with PHP >= 5.2.4 installed
-   at least one PHP SQLite library extension installed and enabled: PDO,
    SQLite3, or SQLiteDatabase
    
PHP version 5.3.0 and greater usually comes with the SQLite3 extension installed
and enabled by default so no custom action is necessary.

## Download

The files in the source repositories are meant for development, not for use in production.

You can find the latest downloads here:

## Installation

See https://bitbucket.org/phpliteadmin/public/wiki/Installation


## Configuration

**NEW** as of 1.9.4: You can now configure phpLiteAdmin in an external file. If
you want to do this:

-   rename `phpliteadmin.config.sample.php` into `phpliteadmin.config.php`
-   do not change the settings in `phpliteadmin.php` but in
    `phpliteadmin.config.php`

See https://bitbucket.org/phpliteadmin/public/wiki/Configuration for details.

1.   Open `phpliteadmin.config.php` (or `phpliteadmin.php` before 1.9.4) in
     a text editor.
	
2.   If you want to have a directory scanned for your databases instead of
     listing them manually, specify the directory as the value of the 
     `$directory` variable and skip to step 4. 
	
3.   If you want to specify your databases manually, set the value of the
     `$directory` variable as false and modify the `$databases` array to
     hold the databases you would like to manage.
	
    -   The path field is the file path of the database relative to where
        `phpliteadmin.php` will be located on the server. For example, if
        `phpliteadmin.php` is located at "databases/manager/phpliteadmin.php" and
        you want to manage "databases/yourdatabase.sqlite", the path value
        would be "../yourdatabase.sqlite".
		
    -   The name field is the human-friendly way of referencing the database
        within the application. It can be anything you want.

4.   Modify the `$password` variable to be the password used for gaining access
     to the phpLiteAdmin tool.
	
5.   If you want to have multiple installations of phpLiteAdmin on the same
     server, change the `$cookie_name` variable to be unique for each installation
     (optional).

6.   Save and upload `phpliteadmin.php` to your web server.
	
7.   Open a web browser and navigate to the uploaded `phpliteadmin.php` file. You
     will be prompted to enter a password. Use the same password you set in step 4.
