Maybe Korakot can confirm? Correct charset for Thai used to be a big trouble. Now most agree to the gov. standard of 'tis-620' and luckily that most Thais use IE, and even for NN4 'tis-620' will be equivalent to specifying nothing.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] MAJOR suggestion
by Robin Johnson 18 May '01

Hi all, after investigating character sets & languages for quite a while now, and writing a correct implentation of a language system for my phpDNS project, i wanted to propose adding the same system to phpMyAdmin. Features: - Can detect user language and character set from browser, incl regional variants - supports HTTP/1.1 language/charset q-values. - automatically sets correct fonts. - can figure out the most likely language to use if the exact language support is not available. EG if 'fr-ca' is supported (not plain 'fr'), but the user requests 'fr-ch', they will get 'fr-ca' since it's the closest to 'fr-ch' that is available. - all language data stored in a database, for easy updating - able to include mroe than one language, eg load 'fr' and then 'fr-ca' on top of that to redefine only some tags. - supports multiple character sets per language - call to get a string is i18n("String_Name") Implementation: - database uses a single table, and stores data in a tree structure inside the table. - OpTree is the wrapper class for handling the table. - (I also use it to store most of the configuration options for the program) - On login, all the language data for your selected language is stored in a session file, to avoid repeated database access. Known caveats: - don't know if sessions are supported on non-UNIX platforms I think sessions are supported on NT, but not sure beyond that - database overhead on first loadup actualy gets called twice, once for the login page, and once for the rest of the system - size of session files possibly I should reduce the session file lifetime? (can anybody suggest any more?) see the main phpDNS active working tree at http://phpdns-local.orbis-terrarum.net/phpDNS/userspace/ - login: test - password: test see the OpTree testing/modication backend http://phpdns-local.orbis-terrarum.net/phpDNS/learning/options/optree.php - click on 'view tree' to a get a quick dump of the page -- --- Robin Hugh Johnson "Robbat2" QTOD: "I used to be an idealist, but I got mugged by reality."

> I would really like your feedback before I begin to > code this. Is this > the better way to offer the advanced index creation? I think this is a good way. But I think we should offer the options to create/manage these indexes afterward. Most of the times, user will create the table first and try to optimize search by create / change index later. Korakot BTW: I will be very busy for a while. Forgive me for not being active. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi All! I'm currently testing the php4.06-RC1 build (not so bad) and find that phpMyAdmin is causing lots of warnings because the 'mysql_db_query()' funtion is now deprecated. One should use 'mysql_select_db()' and 'mysql_query()' instead. While you're modifying some pieces of code think about this.

Hi Marc! >I would really like your feedback before I begin to code >this. Is this the better way to offer the advanced index >creation? I can't imagine a better way at this time and I think it's a really intersting feature we HAVE TO offer for advanced users ;) >Also note that this new screen would only show up when >a user chooses to go in advanced index creation "mode". IMHO that's a good point: newbies won't be afraid this way. Now, let's go to work :p Loïc ______________________________________________________________________________ ifrance.com, l'email gratuit le plus complet de l'Internet ! vos emails depuis un navigateur, en POP3, sur Minitel, sur le WAP... http://www.ifrance.com/_reloc/email.emailif

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Advanced index creation
by Marc Delisle 15 May '01

Hi, just to tell you I have started to think about how the dialog would look like, to enable multi-field indexes (with key length) and things like full-text indexes. We have to find something that is easier to use visually than typing the appropriate SQL commands :) I will come back to you soon with some propositions... Marc (Lem9)

Be welcome Pete :) I'll reaffect the bug #421889 (backup / restore database) to you in a few minuts. I've tested the last piece of code you suggested but faced a big problem when loading requests from a file: they aren't splitted! Good luck ;) Loïc ______________________________________________________________________________ ifrance.com, l'email gratuit le plus complet de l'Internet ! vos emails depuis un navigateur, en POP3, sur Minitel, sur le WAP... http://www.ifrance.com/_reloc/email.emailif
