[Phpmyadmin-devel] UPPER() and varbinary
by Marc Delisle 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

Hi, Is it normal that doing a UPPER() on a VARBINARY field does not work? CREATE TABLE `t1` ( `f1` varchar(12) NOT NULL default '', `f2` varbinary(16) NOT NULL default '' ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; Here, it works on field f1 but not f2. I am using MySQL 4.1.7 and mysqli. Marc

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Still supporting Netscape Version < 6
by MK Keck 25 Oct '04

25 Oct '04

Hi all, I'm thinking about the "old" Netscape Comunicator (smaller Version 6.0 like 4.78 or so): should we still supporting this browser with our JS-Functions, CSS- Styles and interface? I think, many people are using a newer browser and/or better browser like Firefox 0.9.3, Mozilla or - of course - InternetExplorer, which is normaly included as Version 5.0 (and higher) on nearly every MS Windows. So, for better code-handling and many not supported W3C in Netscape < 6 (no CSS2, no DOM) it may easier for all developers, to stop supporting the old Netscape Browsers (as we done with PHP version < 4.3). The PMA version 2.5.7-pl1 works fine with the old Netscape, but the new PMA versions (> 2.6.0) not really. I've tested - and some things are not available or won't work correct (multi submit, showing/hiding content on export page, ...). Perhabs it would be a good thing to discuss about it, make some infos in documentation and/or building a browser check (which checks for NS 4 and gives the user a hint to download a newer browser ;) ). What are you thinking about this? Michael

[Phpmyadmin-devel] translating "Language"
by Marc Delisle 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

Hi, finally (after 6 years :) I think we should display the translation of the term "Language" in each language. If someone is ever lost on a foreign language page, he should be able to try the drop-down. Marc

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Security issues
by Michal Čihař 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

Hi all I guess we should handle a bit better security issues. These bugs should be announced with a bit more details (like when it is exploitable, which versions are affected and simmilar details). I'd like to have something simmilar, like xine has: http://xinehq.de/index.php/security/ I wrote how announcement could look like for latest issue. Comments? -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com

by Marc Delisle 15 Oct '04

15 Oct '04

Hi, on the edit /insert page, maybe just before the "Insert as a new row / Go back.." dialog, I would like to add a hint like this: "Use TAB key to move from value to value, or CTRL+arrows to move anywhere". Comments? Marc

[Phpmyadmin-devel] End of line chars in export
by Michal Čihař 14 Oct '04

14 Oct '04

Hi all please look at bug #1042521 [1]. The problem there is that MySQL wants unix end of lines, while it is running on Mac. Easiest solution would be to change PMA_whichCrlf to return \n for mac. As I see other places, there is anyway code like: (PMA_whichCrlf() == "\n") ? '\n' : '\r\n'), which means we didn't use \r on any other place than export (and this code was probably wrong for Mac). Is it okay to do this change? 1. https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1042521&group_id=… -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com

Hi, Patch level 2 of phpMyAdmin 2.6.0 has been released, containing a security fix and a few other fixes (see ChangeLog).

[Phpmyadmin-devel] 2.6.0-pl2
by Marc Delisle 12 Oct '04

12 Oct '04

Hi, I would like to release a -pl2, which would include the fixes for - 1037004 (done in HEAD) - 1036678 (done in HEAD) - 1033388 (not done) - possibly other urgent fixes. This would be released from QA_2_6_0, when 1033388 is done. I would prefer not to include other fixes that are changing the interface. If you see other urgent things, please share your thoughts :) Marc
