Who's the Creator of the libSQL Extension in PHP? Spoiler: It's Me!
Let me share a quick story. The other day, someone messaged me on social media. They sent a screenshot asking, “Who’s the creator of the libSQL extension in PHP?”
Well, guess what? It’s me.
Yep, me. The same person who talks about libSQL and Turso Database everywhere. Why not? It's my work (even though I'm not Turso Internal). If that sounds a bit full of myself, I’ll admit it. That’s just how I roll.
Now, about this Software Freestyle Engineer (SFE) title. Sounds fancy, right? But really, it’s a bit of a joke. I mean, it’s true, but still a joke. I don’t fit into the typical mold. I’m the guy who bends the rules, writes some code, and laughs about it later.
Being an SFE is all about embracing the wild side. It takes guts to try what others won't. And sure, I like to think I make it look easy. I’m not here to follow the crowd—I’m here to change the game.
So, when people ask about the libSQL extension, I don’t just give them a boring answer. I show them me. This extension wouldn't exist without my mix of boldness and a bit of charm. I’m someone who takes risks, makes mistakes, and then shares it online.
So there you have it. If you've wondered who's behind the libSQL extension in PHP, it's me. The SFE. A mix of humor and smarts. The one who makes things happen.
Honestly? I wouldn’t change a thing.
Catch you later, folks!

Installation
Installing the extension should be not complecated, it's easy and like using Composer Package Installer. Or, if you belive with this quotes:
If there is a hard way, why choose the easy way?
— Me
So you need to go with the Manual Installation.
Auto Installer
turso-php-installer is a Composer package capable of executing various commands related to libSQL, simplifying the development process, and making it easier to simulate in a local environment.
composer global require darkterminal/turso-php-installer
