Submitted by Adam » Many people have heard of SQLite but not many people have used it in their PHP applications. Most PHP applications make use of the MySQL database engine to store information however this is not always needed for small amounts of data. In these cases, web applications often store their data in a "flat file" format, often just a plain text file or an XML file. Both of these methods have their downsides.

I like it as well. I didn't write this article, and I'm one of those individuals who falls under the "heard but not really used" category.

I've been getting into SQLite more and more, albeit in a Rails environment. It's a nice, low-overhead storage system which works great in a development environment.
