Hi, I wonder what we should do about this: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1110137&group_id=… The problem is, "events" is not in the reserved words list: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/reserved-words.html But of course, is used in this syntax: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/show-binlog-events.html I checked in command-line and select * from events works correctly (no need to quote), however select * from revoke is rejected, due to the presence of "revoke" in the reserved words list. Pretty printing is one thing, doing more that MySQL is another thing. Marc

[Phpmyadmin-devel] MySQL 4.1 and column comments

by Alexander M. Turek

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, There's a small change that I'd like to see in 2.6.1, but I don't have the time to implement it. MySQL 4.1 supports adding comments on column level. Afaik, phpMyAdmin only supports its own column comments, but not MySQL's native ones. On top of that, I think that column comments don't fit into the relation overview. I'd rather move the interface to the table structure editor. This should be the preferred way to perform this operation. Comments? Regards, AMT -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBqfNM8c/ssWf/SMcRAnKnAJ49xllPYAspKmjU3GCJUI1ei2jf1gCeLX0D BcOZFpe7X0TR8VNAvpPF6RM= =eH72 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Phpmyadmin-devel] themes

by Marc Delisle

Hi all, Michael Keck just checked the themes in the themes tracker for security issues. We could announce that the themes tracker is to submit new themes, and use a new mechanism to distribute them: - create a new cvs module for the themes - commit there the themes from the tracker, after inspection - create a downloadable "themes" kit (I prefer only one kit) - maybe play with the SF Screenshots feature to see what is possible Marc

Re: [Phpmyadmin-devel] themes

by Marc Delisle

I have created the package theme-CacticaBlues and a new release. This kit has been "checked" by Michael. I used release 1.0 but I was not sure. If we say for example 2.6.1, how will people react when PMA reaches 2.6.2? Would we have to release each theme for each PMA version, even if they do not change?

Re: [Phpmyadmin-devel] themes

Please let me check this during lunch time :) I have to add a new package like "theme-star-wars". Or does someone have a better naming scheme for downloadable themes?

Michael, There is a limit of 6 screenshots, and it seems we cannot put links or thumbnails. So I guess that for themes we should put them on our home page where we control the behavior.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] phpMyAdmin 2.6.1 is released

by Marc Delisle

Almost four months have passed since 2.6.0, although three patch releases were made to take care of several security alerts we received. In 2.6.1 there are two more security fixes. As a consequence of one of these fixes, if you want to use MIME-based external transformations you have to use a PHP version of 4.3.0 or later. A major speed improvement for users of the "cookie" authentication type is included starting from 2.6.1-rc1, but you must be running on a Web server with the mcrypt PHP module. Another improvement worth mentionning, which relates to a new feature offered on MySQL 4.1.2+: on multi-user installations, the control user no longer needs to have any rights to the "mysql" db. It is now only used to access the linked-tables infrastructure (pmadb). phpMyAdmin is a web administration tool for MySQL databases, intended to handle a whole database server as well as a single database. Over the years, it has become the most popular GUI for MySQL and is downloaded about 6,000 times a day, according to SourceForge.net. The highlights of this release in detail: Highlights ---------- Upgrade note: * Using external transformations now requires PHP > 4.3.0 Improvements: * Major speed improvement (if using auth_type = 'cookie') by using the mcrypt library (if available on your system) * Improved wording when adding fields * (mysqli) support for compressed protocol and CLIENT_LOCAL_FILES * Clickable active server in left panel * Improved ANSI mode in various scripts * Hints added (light bulb) * Database copying * New Database Operations tab: note that many db operations have been moved here, including the PDF schema generation dialog * Optional simple blocking of root login * Binary log display * Index creating on multiple fields * Improved displaying of messages below tabs * Handle MySQL "duplicate entry" error * User list: top index for user initials * Support for OLD_PASSWORD() function * Under MySQL 4.1.2+, we no longer need the control user to have rights over the "mysql" db * New checks for common index problems * Upload: show filename of uploaded file * Improved page selector when browsing foreign table values * Improved handling of InnoDB constraints * Speed up display for left panel with PMA infrastructure is used * New message "no activity..." * Support of keywords NAMES and VIEW * Can now edit next entry (based on the next numeric primary key) * New warnings related to the use of mbstring * Improved navigation in calendar * Export: selectable SQL compatibility * PDF schema: added support for output in UTF-8 Fixes: * Security fix against some crafted data allowing arbitrary program execution (if PHP safe mode is off and external transformations are activated) * Security fix against a possible attack on read_dump.php (if PHP safe mode is off) * Incorrect appending of LIMIT to queries * Export: insufficient space to save * Export: convert end of line chars we get from MySQL * Wrong double column sort (with JOIN) * Export: (mysqli) some fields wrongly exported as BINARY * Illegal mix of collations for converted strings * Wrong tabbing from value to value * Allow work on temporary tables * UNIX_TIMESTAMP and optional parameter * Export: improved zip headers * 0 as field name caused problems * Incorrect handling when no default server defined * Export: Use just for SQL exports * Comments and multi-table selects * Security: deactivate the list of programs for external transformations * Incorrect handling of OFFSET * Better displaying of table-specific privileges for a db containing an escaped character * Since 2.6.0-pl3, connecting on a non-standard HTTP port did not work * Do not catch Alt and Shift keys * Do not duplicate constraints when exporting multiple databases * Illegal length for LONGTEXT * Moving/copying a table: problem with constraints copying * Reloading frame on multiple queries * Collations on non-text fields * Use standardized MIME type for gzip/bzip2 * Problem with field names like 000 * Timestamps problem under MySQL 4.1.x * Support Option key for field moving in Safari * Error when adding a FLOAT field under MySQL 4.1.x * Headers sent on invalid login * Wrong treatment of MySQL error 1060 * Problem in bookmark logic when using MySQLi Detailed list of changes since version 2.2.0 is available under http://www.phpmyadmin.net/ChangeLog.txt Availability ------------ This software is available under the GNU General Public License V2.0.

Hi, What is the preferred way to debug phpmyadmin? I have php dbg installed but that seems difficult to use in a multipage web context. What kind of debug environment do you guys use? Cheers, Brian

[Phpmyadmin-devel] config.inc.php generator: a suggestion

by Olivier Mueller

Hello, I've tested a few things today, here is a little something to (re-)open the discussion :) I think it would be nice if PMA would have a simple configuration generator, like in many other projects: What about something simple like that? : http://www.phpmyadmin.net/swix_pma/setup/ Scoll to the end of the page to find the [generate] button. It's based on the orginal Documentation.html, with some special "cfgen" tags, which are simply parsed by the setup/index.php script. (look at the .html source of the original http://www.phpmyadmin.net/swix_pma/Documentation.html ) source: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/swix_pma/setup/index.phps and http://www.phpmyadmin.net/swix_pma/setup/generate.phps The generate.php script needs a special version of the config.inc.php files (with lines like: "$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = '%%blowfish_secret%%'; ") Do you think something like that would be good? Is that the right way? Feedback welcome :) regards & have a nice week-end, Olivier -- _______________________________________________________ Olivier Müller - PGP key ID: 0x0E84D2EA - Switzerland E-Mail: http://omx.ch/mail/ - AIM/iChat: swix3k
