php error : SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 6 database table is locked

Hello, I'm beginner in SQL/PHP, I have this php error when I execute the query :

$statement = $pdo->exec("CREATE TABLE t1_backup AS SELECT $columns FROM $tableName;DROP TABLE $tableName;ALTER TABLE t1_backup RENAME TO $tableName;");

Whereas it works if I manually execute the query... What's the problem ?? Thank you !

I doubt you got that past the SQLite parser manually either. Those $-prefixed identifiers should not be allowed. Maybe if you look at what those PHP variables expand to, the problem will become evident.

Unless PDO has changed significantly in the 8+ years since i last used it, exec() supports only a single statement, whereas you have given it several statements. How to use the various PHP sqlite APIs is far out of scope here, though - this forum is for the C library and its close relatives.
