Clearly something must have been changed in a recent software update. Maybe it's not that big a deal, but I find it disturbing that PDO happily creates a broken object created with a bad file name.
<?php
// Remove before flight
ini_set('display_errors', 'On'); // Turns on error responses
$db = new PDO('sqlite:./dataaabase.db');
var_dump($db);
die();
?>
No error. The result I get is the same as with the correct database file name: "object(PDO)#1 (0) { }"

<?php
// Remove before flight
ini_set('display_errors', 'On'); // Turns on error responses
$db = new PDO('sqlite:../database.db');
var_dump($db);
die();
?>
Notice the extra "." before /database.db.

Courses Plus Student 18,036 PointsThe 2 dots only helps to show the error. Once you correct the spelling, it still shows the error, unlike the teacher's code, it doesn't go back to showing the PDO object that was originally seen with the single dot.
