August 2001 ================================== A set of PHP-scripts to administrate MySQL over the WWW. ----------------------------------------- http://phpwizard.net/projects/phpMyAdmin/ http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/ Announcement ------------ After 5 months, 5 beta releases and 4 release candidate versions, the phpMyAdmin developers are pleased to announce the availability of phpMyAdmin 2.2.0. phpMyAdmin is intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web. The project was started by Tobias Ratschiller in 1998, and is now one of the most popular PHP script used worldwide. (Un)fortunately, Tobias then stopped to work on phpMyAdmin last year: the last version (2.1.0) was released on 6. August 2000. In the mean time, there were many suggestions and good ideas around, as well as a security advisory. That is why on 31st March 2001, Olivier Müller (Switzerland), supported by Marc Delisle (Québec), Loïc Chapeaux (France) and a team of 8 other developers re-started the phpmyadmin project on SourceForge.net, with the authorization of the original package maintainer. And now, after 5 months of patches, bugfixes, new features and testing, the version 2.2.0 is finally ready. Available at http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net, it includes the following highlights: Highlights ---------- * Security fixes * New languages: Thai, Swedish, Galician, Romanian, Slovak, Japanese, Korean * Dynamic multiple language support, with automatic browser language detection * Improved documentation * Better file import/export possibilities * PEAR, CSS2 and XHTML 1.0 compliant (as far as possible) * User and Database administration page * Gzip and HTTP compression support * Removed necessity of magic_quotes_gpc (autodetection) * Bookmarks (sql queries) feature * Database usage statistics * Javascript compatibility improvements * Table maintenance features (repair, check, optimize) * Maintained PHP3 compatibility * Better BLOB support * Table usage and row statistics * Multiple table types * Now backed by a full-time development team! :) Detailed list of changes since version 2.1 is available under http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/ChangeLog.txt Availability ------------ This software is available under the GNU General Public License V2.0. You can get the newest version at http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/ Available file formats are: .zip, .tar.gz and .tar.bz2. If you install phpMyAdmin on your system, it's recommended to subscribe to the news mailing list by adding your address under http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/phpmyadmin-news This way, you will be informed of new updates and security fixes. It is a read only list, and traffic is not greater than a few mail every year. Support and Documentation ------------------------- The documentation is included in the software package as text and HTML file, but can also be downloaded from: http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/documentation/ The software is provided as is without any express or implied warranty, but there is a bugs tracker page under: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/ [click on "Bugs"] In addition, there are also a number of discussion lists related to phpMyAdmin.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] about cfgLimitChars
by Marc Delisle 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Hi list! In Documentation.html: $cfgLimitChars integer Maximal number of Chars showed in a field on browse view. Reading this, and also seeing the new buttons "Full strings", "Cutted strings", I would believe that this limit will be applied to chars, varchars, but it is only (currently) applied to TEXT fields (I wonder why...) So either we could apply the limit also to other fields, or modify the doc: Maximal number of characters displayed in TEXT fields on browse view. and the buttons: Full TEXT / Partial TEXT Marc

Under http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/phpMyAdmin/ and this time, nobody will be able to delete the database like last time :) (thanks $cfgAllowUserDropDatabase = FALSE;) If you add big things to the cvs, think about sometimes updating the demo, by doing a "cvs update -d" in the directory /home/groups/p/ph/phpmyadmin/htdocs/phpMyAdmin (to connect via ssh: om@vaio:~ > ssh -C -v LOGIN(a)shell.sourceforge.net using your sourceforge login.... :) Greetz, Olivier -- _________________________________________________________________ Olivier Mueller - om(a)8304.ch - PGPkeyID: 0E84D2EA - Switzerland qmail projects: http://omail.omnis.ch - http://webmail.omnis.ch

Hi All!

I'll have a look at this asap but as far as I remember these are 2 different cases indeed. NB: the version I've sent you this morning does not have such a problem ;) >Anything else pending before package&release ? Yep: I've just fixed the bug #456254 - Crash select on a table. Wait a minut and I'll update the CVS tree.

[Phpmyadmin-devel] bug with the cfgLimitChars toggle
by Loïc 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

If you browse a table that contains only one record, the function that displays the navigation bar isn't called then the button to toggle between full text/limited to n chars text isn't displayed.

Re: RE: [Phpmyadmin-devel] "too many fields" bug solved by magic?!?!?
by Eugenia Loli-Queru 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

I don't think the bug is solved. It is there, but depends how much RAM you have in your PC it will show depending on how many table fields you add (it seems to be a RAM/no of fields problem). >The bug report in phpwizard forum talked about creating more than 14 fields >under IE5.5: the controls were non functional and there was an out of memory error. Exactly. Check the screenshot: http://www.intelligentfirm.com/eugenia/php-bug.jpg It highlights the problem. Please note the bug is reproducible with IE5 and IE5.5. I upgraded to IE6 just yesterday and the bug *remains*. The bug can also be seen with Netscape 4.x under certain circumstances. At the moment that IE is trying to render all these drop down menus, the machine becomes a hog. Too many resources are used, too much memory and CPU. Trying to load EVEN notepad, you get an "out of memory" error, as seen in also in the screenshot after trying to load Opera5. Closing down IE or switching to another web page, almost frees the memory and the OS becomes usable again. The bug is certainly reproducible with Win98 and IE5.5/6. I haven't tried it with Win2k. My machine is a dual Celeron 533 Mhz with 256 MB of SDRAM. Eugenia --- Editor in Chief @ www.OSNews.com
