title: PHP PDO SQLite connection
body: <p>I created connection to database, but I dont know why it always create a new empty database.sql file. When I rename the database file he creates always a new file instead giving me an error.</p>
  <p>Here is my code</p>
  <pre><code>    try {
     $db = new PDO(&quot;sqlite:&quot;.__DIR__.&quot;/database.sql&quot;);
      $db-&gt;setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
  }   catch (Exception $e) {
      echo &quot;Unable to connect&quot;;
      echo $e-&gt;getMessage();
      exit;
  }
  
  echo &quot;Connected to the database&quot;;
  </code></pre>
