I'm new to getting in touch with other PHP users/PHP team, so please excuse
me if this post is at all inappropriate or in the wrong place. In the
current release of PHP (5.1.4) and in the CVS for PHP5.1.* and 5.2.* the
SQLite source version only stands at 3.2.8, while the actual realease is now
at 3.3.6. What I was wondering is whether or not this could be updated, as
there have been numerous bug fixes in the SQLite source in the past 6 months
(one which I am being affected by in PHP but not the latest command line
executable for windows by SQLite for example). Normally I wouldn't go so far
as to fix a single bug in my code, but it is an annoying one (its not an
error, or bad data - simply a matter of taking a long time to execute a
simple SQL statement due to a efficiency bug with GROUP BY). Doesn't sound
like much of an issue does it? My main reason for requesting is that it
appears to be a simple task to place the updated source in the tree. I come
to this conclusion from the dates of files currently in the tree. Most are
over 6 months old, and didn't need changing with the last update -
therefore - hopefully, not many files would need changing to upgrade it once
again - therefore - not too much bother?
Now I realise this could be be a very naive view on this, so I wont mind if
someone says 'pfff, not gonna happen just for you'.
I would compile my own php_pdo_sqlite.dll if only I knew how, or even my own
full version of PHP for this minor update.
I am developing platform independent code on Windows XPSP2 with Apache2 and
PHP5.1.4 and SQLite3 databases. I do have Visual Studio 2003 (.Net) and
could possibly compile the source with documentation, I just can't seem to
find much information on it. Is it possible to compile my own
php_pdo_sqlite.dll by myself with an updated version of the SQLite library
or would this be a difficult task.

Well, I decided to stop rambling, so, thanks in advance to anyone with any
information and anyone who took the time to read my post.
