Workspace seems to create a new database file automatically when we misspell the file name. I had to refresh the file view to see this. Using another syntax error will display the error block. Such as,

$db = new PDO('ssssqlite:./database.db');

Hi Sajid,

There's probably a setting that the teacher made on his computer that we haven't made that makes our exact same code behave differently.
