[Phpmyadmin-devel] Re[2]: Debate on using newly added PHP (and MySQL) functions in core phpMyAdmin functions:

I fully agree. So let's test and test ans test again the user administration page I've rewritten to fit xhtml standards. An other possible security issue may be the improved copy/move table feature that were added the option to work with other db than the current one. I'm not sure the access rights to the target db are checked before the query is executed.

Re: [Phpmyadmin-devel] 2.3.x or 3.x ?

>thus I think that it better of preparer the >version 3.x with new functionality and graphic system Well it must be for 3.x. Let's remain some coding standards in version numbers for most open source projects. There are three digits: - the third one change for bug fixes only ; - the second one when modifications regards large part of the code; - and the first one for major changes. With these conventions: - the next version could be 2.2.1 or a 2.3.0 since the big "lib.inc.php3" has been splitted; - a new interface like the nice one you suggested and thumbnails must lead to a 3.x version since it implies far or less a rewrite of of the whole script.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] 2.3.x or 3.x ?
by Vergoz Michael xMach 25 Sep '01

finally it work! well, I think that it is true to install this new graphic environment on a version such as 2.3.x is not good a idea. (also it takes me time) thus I think that it better of preparer the version 3.x with new functionality and graphic system What you think ? Michael_-

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Bugs #461192 & 463683 and 2.2.1 release and bug
by Loïc 25 Sep '01

25 Sep '01

Hi List! I've done some investigations on bugs #461192 and #463683 and my conclusion is we need a powerfull parser for "SELECT" queries. I mean that to fix these bugs and some other ones that can't be long to be submitted it requires : 1) To be able to get "true" db and table names, even if aliases are used in the query (and then mysql_fetch_field is not enough) because we need these "true" names to modify/delete a record, for example. 2) To be able to split the sql query in convenient parts ie: - what is before the "FROM" (is there a "DISTINCT" clause, is the COUNT function used...), - what is in the "FROM" part of the query (is it a query with a "JOIN" clause or not...) - and what are the different clauses after the "FROM" part of the query. All this is necessary to achieve the first point (get the "true" db and table names) and to know the number of record returned by the query without the program- matically appended "LIMIT" clause. 3) To distinguish the true different clauses keywords from the same words used as backquoted db/table/fields names or as fields values. I mean for example to take into account only the second " FROM " in the query: SELECT `my from field` FROM my_table WHERE `my from field` = 'annoying from in string' 4) To take care of in-line comments and of the "/*!..*/" MySQL syntax: the former should be skipped from the query while parsing it, the latter should be taken into account depending on the MySQL version. For exemple whith the query: SELECT `my_field` FROM my_table /*!32340 WHERE `my_field` = 'something' */ may or may not have a where clause depending on the MySQL version and then the total number of rows depends also on the MySQL version. As you may have understand this is a huge work and I don't have enough free time to work on it now. Does anyone of you can work on this? BTW I wonder if we should not release the 2.2.1 version as soon as possible because many bugs have already been fixed since 2.2.0.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Debate on using newly added PHP (and MySQL) functions in core phpMyAdmin functions:

> I think this bug has already been fixed in the current > cvs version but in a different way: a "DISTINCT" clause > has been added in the sql query used to get the table > list. vs. > $dblist = array_unique($true_dblist); 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 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 upgraded with the latest software - and according to securityfixes etc. it would be very bad if ISPs (etc.) won't be able to upgrade their phpMyAdmin to a newer version (with securityfixes etc.). So my plea to you guys - carefully think about the consequenses when you uses a PHP function that wasen't in PHP 3.x.x - often a little bit of extended - thought thru - code may replace the newle added PHP feature and secure the downward compability with PHP 3.x.x (and MySQL) versions. My to minuts worth of wisdom ;o) Comments on this is welcome and appreciated :-) Kind regards Geert Lund

Hi Michael, Armel & all! I think this bug has already been fixed in the current cvs version but in a different way: a "DISTINCT" clause has been added in the sql query used to get the table list.

I've just received a mail from Michael: he can not post message to the dev. list at this time (he subscribed about 5 hours ago but SF seems to be lagging a bit). Nevertheless he had read all your opinions and will take them into account.
