[Phpmyadmin-devel] "Give me a task"
by Marc Delisle 20 Jul '01

20 Jul '01

Hi Martin, I suggest you pick a bug from the bug tracker (for example 442778), send a message to the list saying you are working on it, solve the bug, and put the patch in the patches tracker as a file, or in the specific bug thread. Marc Martin Marconcini a écrit: >Guys... I am "new". I've seen you working hard for this release. I am > willing to join the project and help if needed. Give me a task, and > evaluate the way I do it... but I don't want to just pick up any task > from the task list due the incoming release and the "features" > restriction. > > I am all ears. > > :)

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Re: Using single quotes for better performances

Pete wrote >Yes I'm fine thanks I have been very busy, and you? I am currently very busy (I'm working on a economic draft... at 3:30 am!) >Why is 'htmlspecialchars' used for field editing? That's the question! The problem is to suppress the double quotes in the value statement of an html input tag, but using the 'htmlspecialchars' function here is not the solution: urlencode is far better (of course you have to urldecode that string in the script it has been passed to).

Hi Pete :) How are you? Thanks for your trick. I haven't test it yet because it it runs it helps to show the second part of the 'htmlspecialchars' bug :( Let's say we have: - build a table with one varchar(15) column; - enter the record 'say "hello"' in this table. Now we want to modify this record from 'say "hello"' to 'say "hello" to Pete' ;) We use the modify link from the browse table page, hopefully we can see the record and then append ' to Pete' at the end of the existing value. We enter the modification and browse the table again to see the change.... KABOOOM: it's new value is 'say & quot;hello& quot; to Pete' The only way to fix all the problem is to avoid the use the 'htmlspecialchars' to define the values of input form fields.

Hi Olivier & all! >No problem... so let's say rc3 for 22/07, and a -final against >beginning of august ? I will be for a few weeks in germany >after the 23/07, but I guess I'll find a phone plug there too, >so that won't be a problem :) Just updated the webpage. OK, that seems fine to me as soon as we all agree that the version I'm working on would be quite different from the current rc because, since I need to rewrite many lines of the code because the (in)famous 'htmlspeciachars' bug, I've decided to also ensure that: - the php code fits PEAR standards... - ...and generates valid XHTML1.0 code. It's a really huge work and I'm afraid it's difficult to share it. I've done about 60% of the work but I'll be out (for working puprose :() all the next week, so I'm not sure to have completed it before the end of July. Is it a problem or not?

[Phpmyadmin-devel] your opinion: length of textfields and textareas
by Marc Delisle 19 Jul '01

19 Jul '01

Hi, Feature request 429771 talks about dynamic lenghts for editing records. - Should we get rid of $cfgMaxInputsize, which specifies a fixed maximum (in pixels), and works only in some browsers? I think going dynamic (max 40 characters) would be better. - For textareas, field length (max 40) would give usually 40 columns. Do you agree? Marc

[Phpmyadmin-devel] Using single quotes for better performances
by Benjamin Gandon 18 Jul '01

18 Jul '01

Hi, I was told that php takes much less time to process a string in single quotes because it does not parse it to replace escape characters like \n, \t and variables by their value. I noticed that the phpMyAdmin code could be reviewed in a large way so that we use single quotes for every string which need not being parsed for escape characters. Could people wrinting/reviewing code pay attention to that point from now on ? Is it possible to revew the whole code ? Can anybody do that ? (the danger is to make conflicts ; one should use locks to avoid conflicts and warn all the mailing-list) By the way: who can add a news on source forge about the rc2 ? It looks like nobody did...

Re: [Phpmyadmin-devel] A bit of story about split_string()...

Hi Benjamin! I was really happy to recieve your message because that's me who grabbed your 2.1.0.1 release a long time ago and suggested to Olivier to merge it with his own improvements. Then Olivier opened the phpMyAdmin SF account. But the url to grab your release were down at the time we've done this, so I can't found who you are and where to send you an e-mail. Now we may add credits for you and your initial release, great :) >I saw (in lib.inc.php3 rev 1.1) that you had tried to add >code to remove comments, but as far as I know, comments >can be left out because they don't interfeer, do they ? Well as far as I remenber comments are left out for execution only. They are still displayed on screen. >The current version (in lib.inc.php3 1.56) is exactly mine >(without my comments though :)) except one line that was >added and that introduces a bug : > if($last_char == $in_string && $char == ")") > $in_string = false; >The bug appears if you try to exec 2 SQL queries like that >(from an uploaded file or directly in the query field because >both are handled by the same code) : >INSERT INTO foo(id, text) VALUES ('1', 'I\'m sure that \')# will cause a bug'); >INSERT INTO foo(id, text) VALUES ('2', 'Indeed \'); that\'s the case'); Right :( The one who did most of the work on these functions is Pete. He has also build a complete test file you may grab from the closed bug #421889 at the patch tracker. He's the one you should talk with about this problem. >Another thing about fame and celebrity (just joking :)): >It would be nice if someone added my name in the >ChangeLog Of course, I'll do it tonight (I can't use CVS at work). >for version 2.1.0.1 ; at that time I didn't dare adding it >because the release was the very first unofficial one... >But it isn't anymore. :) And that's the reason why I can't add it before. Your fault, in a word :p Greets, Loïc ______________________________________________________________________________ ifrance.com, l'email gratuit le plus complet de l'Internet ! vos emails depuis un navigateur, en POP3, sur Minitel, sur le WAP... http://www.ifrance.com/_reloc/email.emailif
