PHP can also be used to read SQLite databases.
{{{
root@imx8mq-var-dart:/usr/share/apache2/default-site/htdocs# cat testsqlite.php
825 SQLite Test
query('SELECT truck_name,tare FROM trucks');
echo '| Truck ID | Tare |
|---|
';
while ($row = $results->fetchArray()) {
$truckid = $row['truck_name'];
$tare = $row['tare'];
echo '| ' . $truckid . ' | ' . $tare . ' |
';
}
echo '
';
?>
