Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/sqlite3.construct
---
https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/cc125f277b50e0f90fc8033fe7f47d2446389a15

According to this commit, the filename in the constructor may also be an empty string since v7.0.10. This will result in a in-memory database. In previous versions of PHP7 (I tested this with v7.0.2) this would have resulted in a exception. 

The documentation is not mentioning this feature. 

Test script:
---------------
The unit test below works in v7.0.2, but fails in v7.0.17

class SQLiteConstructorTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{
    /**
     * @expectedException Exception
     */
    public function testDefectDatabaseFile()
    {
        $database_file = '';
        $sqlitedb = new SQLite3($database_file);
    }
}

Not quite. If the database name is an empty string, a private,
temporary on-disk database is created.

However, you're right that this has to be properly documented.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
