Description:
------------
Empty, whitespace and/or comments only query strings passed into the query method of a PDO object for a 'sqlite2' database appear to cause segmentation faults.  PDO 'sqlite' (SQLite 3) objects appear immune as does the older sqlite extention (sqlite_query()).

The function pdo_sqlite2_stmt_execute() in
ext/sqlite/pdo_sqlite2.c does not appear to catch a case when sqlite_compile() returns SQLITE_OK but sets the sqlite virtual machine pointer to NULL.  This seems to occur for empty query strings (0 length, whitespace and/or comments).  When passed unchecked into sqlite_step(), as it appears to be in pdo_sqlite2_stmt_execute(), sqlite_step() attempts to dereference the pointer, causing a segmentation fault.  The equivalent function (sqlite_query()) in ext/sqlite/sqlite.c appears to catch this.

This occurs on both:
- Solaris 9, Sun Forte Developer 7 C compiler
- Ubuntu Linux 6.06, gcc 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)

Using both PHP versions:
- php-5.1.6
- php5.2-200609072030

The shorter configure line (ubuntu) was:
./configure \
--with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs2 \
--prefix=/usr/local/php-5.1.6 \
--with-pdo-sqlite \
--with-sqlite \
--with-libxml-dir=/usr

I triggered it in both mod_php + Apache (1 and 2) and on the command line.  The traces are for the cli.

The solaris version had some php.ini customizations, the ubuntu install had none.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$dbh = new PDO('sqlite2:pdo_sqlite2');

$dbh->query(" ");

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Not crash.  Either return an error to indicate the fact that the query was empty or do nothing.  

I found that the patch at 
http://www.personal.psu.edu/jcd/patches/php-5.1.6_pdo_sqlite2_empty_query.patch
fixed the segfaults for me on both platforms I tested.  


Actual result:
--------------
I can reproduce a segfault with every try.  With my patch, I have yet to trigger a crash.

This is actually SQLite problem, but I agree, a workaround is required.
Fixed in 5_2 and HEAD.

Thanks for committing this.  

It did seem pretty murky if this was more an SQLite or PHP issue due to the language used for sqlite_step() in the version 2 API docs on http://sqlite.org/c_interface.html, section 2.2.  Though, I agree functions should check pointer arguments before dereference.  Thanks again!
