Description
-----------
(from http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation)
phpMyAdmin handles the administration of MySQL over the Web. It
can manage a whole MySQL server as well as a single database.
Currently it can:
* easily browse through databases and tables
* create, copy, rename, alter and drop databases
* create, copy, rename, alter and drop tables
* do table maintenance
* add, edit and drop fields
* execute any SQL-statement, even multiple queries
* create, alter and drop indexes
* load text files into tables
* create (*) and read dumps of tables or databases
* export (*) data to SQL, CSV, XML, Word, Excel, PDF and Latex formats
* administer multiple servers
* manage MySQL users and privileges
* check server settings and runtime information with configuration hints
* check referential integrity in MyISAM tables
* using Query-by-example (QBE), create complex queries automatically
connecting required tables
* create PDF graphics of your Database layout
* search globally in a database or a subset of it
* transform stored data into any format using a set of predefined functions,
like displaying BLOB-data as image or download-link
* support InnoDB tables and foreign keys (see FAQ 3.6)
* support mysqli, the improved MySQL extension (see FAQ 1.17)
* communicate in 50 different languages
(*) phpMyAdmin can compress (Zip, GZip -RFC 1952- or Bzip2 formats)
dumps and CSV exports if you use PHP4 >= 4.0.4 with Zlib support
(--with-zlib) and/or Bzip2 support (--with-bz2).

Hi all,
I just noticed that I didn't receive some emails from sourceforge
mailing lists (noticed because I got Sebastians reply but not my mail
on which he replies :-)).
So quick reply on recent mails:
> should the database list retrieved with the controluser verified with
> USE DATABASE like the list retrieved with 'normaluser' in
> PMA_DBI_get_dblist() for MySQL < 4.0.2 or with preg_*() like it is
> current with ereg() in PMA_safe_db_list()?
I think USE is much simpler that current code.
> I think 2.9.0 is in a good state for a release.
Okay for me...

Hi,
if (PMA_MYSQL_INT_VERSION < 40002 ||
!empty($GLOBALS['cfg']['Server']['hide_db'])) {
if the above comes true every DB is checked with 'USE dB' for access,
Why?
Why should this check run if i have MySQL >= 4.0.2?
at least, shouldn't it be written with && instead of ||:
if (PMA_MYSQL_INT_VERSION < 40002 &&
!empty($GLOBALS['cfg']['Server']['hide_db'])) {
so that the db-list gets only checked if MySQL < 4.0.2 AND the
hide_db-list is empty

Hi,
function using the dblist should expect always an array, also in case of
error retrieving the dblist
error reporting for retrieving the dblist is not the task of the
function using the dblist
so i would suggest that the dblist is ALWAYS an array, whether empty or not
any doubts?

Hi,
should the database list retrieved with the controluser verified with
USE DATABASE like the list retrieved with 'normaluser' in
PMA_DBI_get_dblist() for MySQL < 4.0.2 or with preg_*() like it is
current with ereg() in PMA_safe_db_list()?

Hi all
is it okay to delete file libraries/db_config.lib.php? It was designed
to be used for database based config, but it doesn't look we will have
it in near future.

Hi all
I started to collect developer information on wiki [1]. Please add
there any hints that might be useful for people who are interested in
contributing to phpMyAdmin.
While working with documentation, I used phpDocumentator to generate
our API documentation, you can see it on my website [2].
