Unable to install php7.X_sqlite3

Post by hlsiira »

Nearly fresh installation of Linux Mint Tara.
I've been trying to install the php7.x_sqlite3 module for a lamp server on my laptop so I can do web design, however no matter how I try to type the name, I keep getting "Unable to locate package". After opening about 15 tabs across searching for a solution, I got a bunch of variations on "Use X command":

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite
sudo apt install php7.0-sqlite3
sudo apt install php7.2-sqlite3
I've updated and upgraded with apt and still nothing.
I tried searching the apt-cache with "apt-cache search php | grep sqlite" and it even returns the correct names for the package
I searched through the Ubuntu Repo and can even again see the package there
I finally found this page on the forums for and was able to install it from there, but I'd like to figure how to fix the actual issue as I am trying to create an installation script that does all my configuration for me. (It's going well until now)

Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.
