no matter what I type in PDO object brackets for the database file name it still returns as 'object(PDO)#1 (0) { }'. Im not sure if I made a mistake in sqlite however it did display the following after inserting the sqlite command to the console:
/home/treehouse/workspace/.database.db
the PHP code for the PDO object is:
$db = new PDO('sqlite:./dataaaaaabase.db'); //3
which still seems to output the correct var_dump. Can't figure out the problem.

$db = new PDO('sqlite:/database.db');
basically just removing the dot before the forward slash to trigger error

5,653 PointsThanks, that seems to work in catching the error and it doesn't create random db files anymore, however now it only registers errors. Nothing else changed other than the period after the colon.

5,653 PointsOn top of not reading it as an error, When i refresh the workspace it just creates a new database with the name of the database that follows the 'sqlite:.' snippet of code in the PDO object.
