Hi All, After a long sabbatical from developing on phpMyAdmin, due to final exams and a month long vacation in South Africa [able to check my email only with a 14.4 modem :-( ], I'm now coming back to carry on working. I have noticed a few new bits popping into phpMyAdmin since i've been using it as a user while I have been doing other things, and some of the new bits are definetly getting places. Just looking at the current status, 2.2.0-rc4, I'd assume we're working on fixing as many bugs as possible to be ready for -final. What are the most pressing issues that I can get to work on, and when are we aiming to release -final by? -- Robin Hugh Johnson QTOD: "I used to be an idealist, but I got mugged by reality."

[Phpmyadmin-devel] HTTP compilance

by Benjamin Gandon

I've just pointed out that we use the "Location:" HTTP header field in a manner that is not HTTP complilant. It seems that it work because browsers seem to respect Postel's advice ("be conservative in what you send and liberal in what you accept"). rfc 2816 says: Location = "Location" ":" absoluteURI An example is: Location: http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/People.html And we use for example: tbl_select.php3:181: header('Location: sql.php3?' . $url_query); And that is quite not an absolute URI... I didn't find any suitable header in rfc2616 that could replace the "Location:" one and accept relative URI. ("Content-Location:" is quite good but it does not specify a replacement for the original requested URI). It seems that in order to have phpMyAdmin generate absolute URI in "Location:" HTTP headers, we have to introduce a configuration variable that would hold the absolute path (server name + path!). I don't think solving this is urgent because it works fine like that (except lynx who warns the user that the Location URL is not absolute and then goes to the right place). We can postpone that for a later version or let it go and just document that we do that (My lazyness would recommend letting it go :)).

[Phpmyadmin-devel] problem with expand_sql_query()

Hi, trying this with current cvs: CREATE TABLE Binary_Table ( ID mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, MyData blob NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (ID) ) TYPE=MyISAM; I get an allocation memory error in lib.inc.php3, line 1608. Marc

[Phpmyadmin-devel] query results

by Dan Allen

Sorry for so many posts, but I have a lot of suggestions... Right now, if you run a query (and not just a browse), it does not return the total results...it only shows you 0 to 30 and then the navigation buttons appear depending on whether there are more than 30 results. The reason for this is in lib.inc.php in the dispaly_table function. This is how it should be.... if (!$is_simple&&!empty($db)) { $result = mysql_query($sql_query); $total = mysql_num_rows($result); } // end if whereas before it only ran the query for a browse by just counting all the rows in the table...in fact, what needs to happen is the query needs to be run again without LIMIT 30,0 to get the total number of rows...it should be quite fast and maybe this can be a configuration option to always calculate the total results returned...This way, you can add a "Show All" button that will break out of the LIMIT, useful when you want to get all the rows from a search repeatedly...

[Phpmyadmin-devel] 2.2.0 ever?

by Marc Delisle

Hi, let's talk about 2.2.0 (again :) Will it be bug-free? I don't think so. Will it be the last phpMyAdmin version? I don't think so. Will 2.2.1 be better? I think yes. Can we agree about which bugs are showstoppers? Let's try :) Marc

RE: [Phpmyadmin-devel] Bug avalanche

by Benjamin Gandon

Well, not such an avalanche. Just browse unassigned ones! :)) > - some bugs are dupes or similar (444354 and 446830 ? 443499 > and 448226 ? ...) No, #443499 (Unable to "Insert textfile into table") is not the same as #448226 ((RC3) Missing MySQL error messages) I'm waiting for a response to close the bug, but maybe I'll do it before that. Anyway I agree with you and I'll try to close those assigned to me asap.

RE: [Phpmyadmin-devel] removing remarks is useless

by Benjamin Gandon

> I did a bit of poking around in the online documentation, and > certainly nothing in the 3.2x's cares. Nobody is against, so I'll drop remove_remarks() code in lib.inc.php3, suppress one line in db_readdump.php3 and close bug #444279 (# problem in uploaded file). (in an effort to close bugs :))

Actually, It's such a big work that it should come in 3.0 and not before :) I think quite everything has to be changed. It's like restarting from scratch. PhpGroupWare people have really spend a lot of time on their kernel desing to acheive such modularity capabilities. PhpMyAdmin was definitely never designed for that. Tobias had not that time to spend on it.
