[Phpmyadmin-devel] PDF export
by Marc Delisle 04 Dec '05

04 Dec '05

Hi, I just merged this feature. Feel free to play with it. There are some TODOs in the code, but it seems already useful in its current state. A few questions: 1. It does not make sense to not "Save as file", so should we check this by default for a PDF export? 2. Maybe I should hide this option when not in Table panel? 3. Currently I do if (!PMA_exportOutputHandler($pdf->buffer)) once when the PDF is all built in the buffer, but I guess that this function was planned to receive smaller chunks of data. I wonder how to do it with the current fpdf logic. Marc

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Issue with guest login at the start
by Manish Marathe 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hello, Thanks for the help in advance. I am installing phpMyAdmin 2.6.4-pl3 and when I start phpMyAdmin for the first time sometimes it logs-in directly with a guest account ( guest@localhost) but this happens very rarely. Most of the times when it is started for the first time after installation, it asks for a username and password, which I believe is the normal behavior. Can we change some configuration to avoid such rare logins with a guest account? I would also like to add that I am installing phpMyAdmin as a part of SpikeSource, Inc stack of open source components ( http://www.spikesource.com/downloads.html ) Thanks -- Manish Marathe SpikeSource, Inc. http://developer.spikesource.com
