    I need to use php with mysql but all i have is sql lite. Is sql lite enough to get the program running. Will i then be able to transfer to a live domain once the code is done, or will it need to be completley redesigned if i do it in sql lite?

    SQL Lite is a built in PHP library which emulates a MySQL database. It can replicate most things you can do with MySQL and so it should be enough for most programs you're making.

    Since SQL Lite is built into PHP you wouldn't need to change it unless you were to start using an older version of PHP on your new server.

    Thanks guys. I'm going to build it on wamp, on my own computer, then move to a live server when it's built. I just wanted to check that live servers are very similar to sql lite. Many thanks.

    I'm confused - as MySQL is free, why don't you just download and use it?

    instead of downloading Mysql and then configuring it to apache

    It would be better to go with XAMPP

    Xampp, I haven't heard of it. Is it better than Wamp. What are the differences? Many thanks for your responses.
