RE: [Phpmyadmin-devel] New phpMyAdmin logo

>the square logo supposed to represent some clusters Is it a logo dedicated to Geert (just kidding, see one the message he sent yesterday about what he has to do today)? BTW do we really need the logo to look like the MySQL dolphin in some way? As to me I like it but think adding a sentence is not necessary (and I don't want half my 800*600 screen at work to be used to display the logo but I'm selfish here :p) Very nice work Michael :)) 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

Re: [Phpmyadmin-devel] Flash menu with a plug-in detection
by Loïc 26 Sep '01

26 Sep '01

I agree with Armel: I don't like very much the idea to add Flash things in phpMyAdmin. As to me, It must stay away from plugins on one hand, as light as possible on the other (and Flash means mor Ko to download). Just my 2 cents, 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] Flash menu with a plug-in detection
by Vergoz Michael xMach 26 Sep '01

26 Sep '01

Devel : version 3.x hi list, i think is a good idea to make a Flash Menu. if a navigator don't support the flash plug-in, the flash detection will switch to a basic menu, and the user can change it into the preference... What do you think ? Michael Vergoz

Hi Spiggy & List ! >question about translating: someone explain how/ where overhead is >used? i cannot produce it. Have a look at section of the MySQL manual about the "OPTIMIZE" syntax (http://www.mysql.com/doc/O/P/OPTIMIZE_TABLE.html) "Overhead" is the space related to the "deleted records that are maintained in a linked list". To have this string displayed, just delete a record from a table and move to this table properties page.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Security issues
by Loïc 25 Sep '01

25 Sep '01

Some amazing things (you'll love them, Geert ;)) 1) Let's say: - you have three db (mysql of course, db1, db2) with an empty mysql.db table (no one should be the case but...) - you use the advanced athentication mode, - you log in as an user with $cfgServers[n]['only_db'] = 'db1' and $cfgAllowUserDropDatabase = TRUE Then display database details, move to the end of the page, copy the url of the "delete db" link, paste it in your adress bar, replace db1 by db2 at this location and run the url... No problem to delete a db that is not your one :( 2) This kind of problem may be reproduced with nearly all actions since the script never checks whether the db to work on is in the list of allowed db or not :(( 3) In advanced authentication mode, the script checks for allowed databases in $cfgServers[n]['only_db'] AND mysql.db, mysql.table. What to do if theses two sources are different? 4) Why does the script checks for allowed databases in mysql.db and mysql.table only in advanced authentication case. To be continued....

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Re: Debate on using newly added PHP (and MySQL) functions in core phpMyAdmin functions:
by Loïc 25 Sep '01

25 Sep '01

Hi Geert! Debate? Which debate? It's a requirement, isn't it? >And this is defenitly also the most correct way to >solve the problem - as array_unique first was >introduced in PHP 4.0.0 and by the way was broken >in PHP 4.0.4 Right and It's also the nicest and the quickest way to do it ;) >This also calls for a general "WATCH OUT" to all us >developers - please keep in mind that "core" phpMyAdmin >functions must not rely on newly added PHP >functions - as phpMyAdmin is used on many platforms that >has not been.... Well I thinks this is what we have done till now and that's the main reason for the "defines.inc.php3" library. BTW you forgot to write that PMA should be use with most (all) browsers, let's say from Lynx/NS3 to IE6/Moz 0.9.4. >Comments on this is welcome and appreciated Done ;) 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
