[Phpmyadmin-devel] file releases
by Olivier M. 14 May '01

14 May '01

Good morning! Just released the current versions under http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23067 . There is: * phpmyadmin-2.2.0pre3.tar.gz ( http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin-2.2.0pre3.tar.gz ) -> current stable version * phpmyadmin-2.3.0alpha-20010514.tar.gz ( http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin-2.3.0alpha-2001051… ) -> current devel version (snapshot-like) I'll wait a few days (to let you and me test the packages more carefully) before announcing the new versions on freshmeat, this way we can still update the packages. Just noticed a strange thing with netscape under linux and 2.2.0pre3 : the left frame doesn't have a vertical scrollbar anymore, even if it is needed : quite annoying. But index.php3 (frameset creation) has not changed... (everything ok with IE or opera). Regards, and have a nice week!

Right, I think you should never specify a font face except in the case of a language that do not have a official ISO code defined for it yet (for example we've faced the problem with Georgian for phpMyChat). At least you should always use a true and complete font family directive, I mean for example: * {font-family: helvetica, arial, geneva, sans-serif;} where 'sans-serif' is always specified.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Detect Language AND Character Set
by Robin Johnson 13 May '01

13 May '01

I'm trying to figure out a way to get the language and character set from a browser, without having to ask the user. I can get the language from the $HTTP_SERVER_VARS, but i'm having a lot of difficulty getting the character set. Any suggestions? The code is also going to into my phpDNS project, as i've realized that I can take the time to design a proper i18n system for it at the start, and avoid problems that might cause later, and i can bring some of the experience into getting phpMyAdmin nicely multi-lingual with foreign character sets. Also, in my reading on character sets, I have come across several documents that point out if you explictly specify a font that does not contain good characters for a foreign character set, some browsers will fail to render the foreign text correctly, because they look at the font instead of the character set setting. This may end up being the fix we were looking for the Thai not rendering. -- --- Robin Hugh Johnson "Robbat2" QTOD: "I used to be an idealist, but I got mugged by reality."

[Phpmyadmin-devel] 2.2.0pre3 today ?
by Olivier M. 12 May '01

12 May '01

Hello, If you have nothing against that, I'll prepare some new prerelease tar.gz this afternoon, and announce it on SF and freshmeat. The current stable tree will be 2.2.0pre3. As which version should we release the devel tree ? 2.2.1alpha or 2.3.0alpha ? Now going to make some more tests :) Regards, Olivier -- _________________________________________________________________ Olivier Mueller - om(a)8304.ch - PGPkeyID: 0E84D2EA - Switzerland qmail projects: http://omail.omnis.ch - http://webmail.omnis.ch

[Phpmyadmin-devel] new table maintenance
by Marc Delisle 11 May '01

11 May '01

Hi, thanks Robin for the new table maintenance features. Would it be better to offer those features only if the table type supports it? For example, on an ISAM table, the CHECK command is not supported. Also maybe put the 4 options on the same line, like this: Table maintenance: check analyse repair optimize with links (like they are now) or with 4 radio buttons and a GO button? I am concerned that we are beginning to use much vertical space on the page. Marc (Lem9)

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Insert in addition to edit
by Korakot Chaovavanich 11 May '01

11 May '01

I have already implement it (3 lines : >). >From the edit page, now we can insert the data as a new row as well. I reuse the string $strInsertNewRow. Wonder if I should add a new string $strSaveAndInsert instead.. What do you think? Korakot __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Re: Version 2.2.0preX ?
by Loïc 10 May '01

10 May '01

Hi All! >- Is the file import feature (to insert tables with data) >working in any case ? (magic quotes on/off, with files >containing quotes, etc.). Yes, it does. The problem that isn't fixed yet is when 'special characters' are used inline (inside the textarea). Unfortunatly I don't have much free time to work on this bug at current. > It would maybe nice to have a kind of "test suite" : > I heard from a few customers that there were still some >problems. See bug #421889: there is a beginning of a teste suite.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Extensions: .php3 .php
by Marc Delisle 10 May '01

10 May '01

Hi, there is a pending feature request, and a message in the forum, about the problem for the persons that are using an Apache configured to recognize only .php extensions. I guess we could make the extension variable, depending on a variable in the config file. And maybe a symlink index.php for index.php3. If there is concensus about this, I am volunteer to do the job :) Marc (Lem9)
