If you use WAL (Write-Ahead Log) (link to sqlite doc for this: http://sqlite.org/wal.html ), it needs write acces because of the implementation of multi-thread access to one db. You can turn it off, if you do not want to give the dir write access, but you can also create a certain file it needs (see the link for a description, as it is explained very well there) that you need write access to and you may get away using WAL without giving write accesss to the dir.

Actually, sqlite creates a journal-file when changing data and so it needs the write-permissions in the directory.

SQLite needs to create some temp-files (journals...) to execute certain statements, so php needs write-permission in your db-directory.

IMPORTANT! just a note:
weird behaviour when doing an exec on a sqlite db!!!
if want to execute a query on a sqlite db with exec, and your dbfile already was e.g. mode 777, and you get some php errors saying
"SQLite3::exec(): unable to open database file in ...."
and you get crazy while debugging, just add write ??ermissions to the whole directory for the user the webserver/php runs.
this behaviour makes absolutely NO sense, and is a source of frustration.
at least a more meaningful errormessage would be nice.
i couldnt figure out why sqlite needs write permissions for the whole dir instead of only one file. this is stupid and must be a bug!
(to be secure you have to create a directory with write permissions only for php/apache)

If you get the error message saying "SQLite3::exec. database locked." You just need to define a busyTimeout to work around this.
