[Phpmyadmin-devel] Is phpMyAdmin a virus?
by Marc Delisle 07 Aug '01

07 Aug '01

Ok my subject is for fun, but seriously, I received an email with an attached file: phpMyAdmin-2.2.0rc3-php3.zip.bat asking to take a look at the file. I guess that depending on my email client, I could have seen phpMyAdmin-2.2.0rc3-php3.zip and be tempted to double-click it. Well I didn't because this contains a virus. Bye Marc

Actually dealing with such simple conflicts is not such a big thing... > Do you mean when I used remove_control_m.sh? Yep. In fact it is kind a coordination problem. Coordination is needed as mentionnend in "what is not CVS" in Molli's CVS manual. I thought you would warn the mailing list before doing such an update. I think freezing CVS or something like that is required before updates that deal with such an amount of lines or else every body who has made changes in the meanwhile can't commit them because they conflict. An entry in ChangeLog is not sufficient because developers can't see it early enough. When they try to commit and have conficts, it's too late.

RE: [Phpmyadmin-devel] split_sql_file produces sometimes wrong pieces

Well, I still think it's suitable like that. Indeed dealing with an uploaded dump and a dump that would have been pasted in the SQL query textarea is really the same and I think it really has to be treated the same way. > > Actually, there is another big bug in this function that is here > > since the very begining of phpMyAdmin.

Well, it's already fixed in CVS. Go and have a look at the code. Honestly, I don't think it's as complex as that. If you find some bug, please tell me. > The only solution I can think of is to split the database > restore code from the normal queries text box > So the choice is to either live with the current small bugs > or rethink and > redesign the whole section. Now, the bug should be away. Could you test? > I have included a small test table containing lots of > different symbols, > this was the test data used to verify the current system. Could you test the current CVS version with your test table, to see if my modification is ok? That would really help. Benjamin

RE: [Phpmyadmin-devel] removing remarks is useless

I just think that parsing scheme sould have been designed to accept comments in queries for a while or else every client would have to include a query parser to remove comments, which is not really acceptable. One parser is enough. In version 2.1.0 from Tobias, removal of comments was all but very smart : $sql = ereg_replace("#[^\n]*\n", "", $sql); In fact I think Tobias had just thought it would speed up the SQL query when adding this small feature. ChangeLog doesn't say anything about a bug involving comments in queries... Benjamin PS: if you want to see original 2.1.0 sources, go to http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/phpnextadmin/phpMyAdmin/ :)))

Hi, the new version have many problems with german umlauts. The normal output works, but the echo over mysql_die for example, convert the special characters like ü to &uuml; also the output over javascripts is wrong. a temporary solution is a back-convert in the affected string, ü to ü should i do this?

[Phpmyadmin-devel] putting a @, or if (function_exists)) ?
by Marc Delisle 07 Aug '01

07 Aug '01

Hi, in phpwizard.net's forum: --------- Hiyas, Just a bug report that phpmyadmin 2.2.0 doesn't work with php4.0b3 .. as far as i can figure, this is because the php function 'extension_loaded' (used in lib.inc.php) isn't supported below PHP 3.0.10 and under PHP 4.0b4 Cheers James QH ----------- Should we check if the function extension_loaded exists before calling it? Or is the @ enough? And should we do this for every PHP4-specific function we find in the code? Marc

[Phpmyadmin-devel] RC4
by Marc Delisle 07 Aug '01

07 Aug '01

Hi, About RC4 release, I was thinking that we should investigate various dump hangs/slow dumps errors before the release, but maybe we should get it out quickly because it fixes a security problem sent to BugTraq (and not to the developpers AFAIK:) Marc
