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.

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.
