Add randomized SQLite database storage - #502
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe plugin adds managed SQLite storage with randomized paths, legacy migration, protected files, exclusive locking, maintenance recovery, and initialization error handling. Composer cleanup removes the managed database directory, and PHPUnit tests cover storage lifecycle, concurrency, permissions, and failures. ChangesSQLite storage lifecycle
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new managed SQLite layout is not ready to merge because database-lock failures can produce an unexpected fatal error, and PHP 7.2 can create an empty database during a deletion race. These paths could prevent startup or connect WordPress to unintended empty storage. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

PHP PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS and Pdo\Sqlite::ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS availability version
💡 Result:
The constant PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS and its corresponding Pdo\Sqlite class constant were introduced in PHP 7.3.0 [1]. These constants allow developers to configure SQLite database connection flags, such as SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY, SQLITE_OPEN_READWRITE, and SQLITE_OPEN_CREATE [2][1]. While historically accessed via the PDO class (e.g., PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS), recent PHP versions have introduced a specific Pdo\Sqlite class to encapsulate SQLite-specific functionality and constants [3][4]. Summary of availability: - PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS (and related flags like SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY): Available since PHP 7.3.0 [1]. - Pdo\Sqlite::ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS: Part of the Pdo\Sqlite class introduced to provide a more structured approach to SQLite driver constants [3][5]. The Pdo\Sqlite class itself and these namespaced constants are available in modern PHP versions, including PHP 8.4 [4]. In practice, PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS and Pdo\Sqlite::ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS refer to the same underlying configuration option for the SQLite PDO driver [5]. Using the Pdo\Sqlite namespace is the recommended modern practice for accessing these constants [3][4].

site:php.net/manual PDO_SQLITE default creates database file if it does not exist SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS PHP 7.3
💡 Result:
By default, the PDO_SQLITE driver creates a database file if it does not exist when a connection is opened [1][2]. Regarding PHP 7.3 and the PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS attribute: 1. Introduction: The PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS attribute was introduced in PHP 7.3 to provide more granular control over how SQLite database connections are opened [3][4]. 2. Purpose: This attribute allows you to set specific flags, such as opening a database in read-only mode using PDO::SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY, which was previously difficult or impossible to configure directly through standard PDO connection strings [3][4]. 3. Default Behavior: Even with the introduction of PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS, the default behavior of the PDO_SQLITE driver remains to create the database file if it does not exist [1][2]. If you specifically require read-only access (where the file must already exist and the driver should not create it), you must explicitly set the PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS attribute to PDO::SQLITE_OPEN_READONLY [3][4]. Note: In later versions of PHP, these constants have been namespaced (e.g., PDO::SQLITE_ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS became Pdo\Sqlite::ATTR_OPEN_FLAGS), but the functionality described applies to the usage in PHP 7.3 [5].

Preserve no-create semantics on PHP 7.2. PHP 7.2 skips both open-flag branches. If another process removes the database after lock() checks is_file(), new PDO( 'sqlite:' . $database_path, ..., $pdo_options ) uses PDO_SQLITE’s default create behavior and can create an empty database. Add a PHP 7.2-compatible path that fails when the database is missing.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win
Guard the null connection in the retry catch block.
$connection is null until line 487 succeeds. The PDO constructor throws PDOException on failure and leaves $connection as null, for example when the database file is missing and OPEN_READWRITE is used without OPEN_CREATE. Line 510 then calls errorInfo() on null, so PHP throws Error: Call to a member function errorInfo() on null and the original PDOException is lost.
Two consequences follow. lock() reports 'Failed to lock the SQLite database.' for every unopenable file, and test_does_not_create_a_missing_database in tests/phpunit/WP_SQLite_Storage_Test.php (lines 615-639) expects a PDOException from lock_database(), so it fails with an Error.
🐛 Proposed fix
} catch ( PDOException $exception ) {
+ // The connection could not be opened, so there is nothing to retry.
+ if ( null === $connection ) {
+ throw $exception;
+ }
+
$error_info = $connection->errorInfo();
$sqlite_busy = 5;
$database_busy = isset( $error_info[1] ) && ( (int) $error_info[1] & 0xff ) === $sqlite_busy;
if ( ! $database_busy ) {
throw $exception;

Summary
Note
This is an alternative approach to #494. It keeps the same randomized storage design, but delegates coordination to SQLite's VFS and locking protocol through a dedicated SQLite database.
This PR adds randomized storage for SQLite databases as an additional layer of protection against direct web access.
db-path.phprecords the database location relative to the managed database root..ht.sqliteand.ht.sqlite.phpdatabases are moved to the randomized layout.:memory:continue to work unchanged.Managed storage
When no explicit database path is configured, the default layout is:
The
db-path.phpfile returns the database location using__DIR__, so copying or moving the completedatabasedirectory keeps the reference valid. If setup is interrupted after the path is published, another request can finish creating the protected directory and database.Storage locking
The storage implements a locking mechanism for initialization and maintenance. Locking uses a dedicated empty SQLite database and a maintenance file:
Legacy migration
Migration is serialized across concurrent requests. Before moving a legacy database, the storage manager checkpoints WAL data, switches to
DELETEjournal mode, and acquires an exclusive SQLite lock. If the database remains busy or migration otherwise fails, the original database file stays in place.Why
A SQLite database at a predictable location under the document root may be served directly when the web server does not honor
.htaccessor equivalent denial rules. The randomized directory makes accidental exposure substantially harder while retaining a stable discovery mechanism for WordPress and external tools.This is an additional safeguard, not a replacement for private storage. Keeping the database outside the document root or configuring the web server to deny access remains the strongest protection.
