Sorry about my late reply but this was my function - a bit of a hack but
works properly on my version of php-sqlite3:
function get_primary_key_name($table)
{
$primary_key='';
$db = new MyDB();
if(!$db)
{
echo $db->lastErrorMsg();
}
else
{
$qstr = "PRAGMA table_info(" . $table . ");" ;
$query = $db->query($qstr);
while ($result = $query->fetchArray())
{
if ($result['pk'] == 1)
{
$primary_key=$result['name'];
}
}
}
$db->close();
return $primary_key;
}
