As the newest database extension, SQLite is fortunate in not having legacy code, unlike older extensions such as MySQL, which must maintain obsolete behavior for backwards compatibility reasons. It also allows the extension to utilize the newest PHP features to attain the highest level of performance and functionality. The developers of the extension have made it easy for users to migrate from other database systems to SQLite, by keeping the interface similar to those already implemented in PHP.
