[Phpmyadmin-devel] Mail troubles
by Michal Čihař 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

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... -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

[Phpmyadmin-devel] PMA_DBI_get_dblist()
by Sebastian Mendel 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

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 -- Sebastian Mendel www.sebastianmendel.de

[Phpmyadmin-devel] return value for dblist
by Sebastian Mendel 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

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? -- Sebastian Mendel www.sebastianmendel.de

[Phpmyadmin-devel] USE DATABASE vs. ereg()
by Sebastian Mendel 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

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()? -- Sebastian Mendel www.sebastianmendel.de
