sqlite3.extension_dir | "" | PHP_INI_SYSTEM |
sqlite3.defensive | 1 | PHP_INI_USER | Available as of PHP 7.2.17 and 7.3.4 for libsqlite ≥ 3.26.0. Prior to PHP 8.2.0 this setting was changeable only as `PHP_INI_SYSTEM`.

`sqlite3.extension_dir` `string`

- Path to the directory where the loadable extensions for SQLite reside.

`sqlite3.defensive` `bool`

- When the defensive flag is enabled, language features that allow ordinary SQL to deliberately corrupt the database file are disabled. This forbids writing directly to the schema, shadow tables (eg. FTS data tables), or the sqlite_dbpage virtual table. This &php.ini; setting is only effective for libsqlite ≥ 3.26.0.
