Without root access - how to enable PHP SQlite where PHP has been complied with "without-sqlite"?

I'm on a shared hosting environment where for some reason PHP has been complied with SQlite disabled. The host is unwilling to make any changes to the set-up. I'm stuck with the host for other reasons, unfortunately. There is also no PDO or MySQL support complied in.

Is there any way to enable SQlite (or another database solution) without root access? I have non-root SSH access.

Alternatively is there any library that allows database-like functionality using flat files?

Many thanks,

Jack

There are a fair few flat-file-databases supported by PHP (assuming that they're compiled in) - you'll want to use the DBA abstraction functions. The list of supported databases can be found here.
