Hi all,
While attending to a bug [1], I came across the following. Suhosin imposes a limit of 512 on the length of the variable that can be passed via a GET [2]. This is often problematic as in PMA we encounter long parameters (long sql queries, where clauses when no unique key is there etc). Due to the same problem [3] $cfg['LinkLengthLimit'] configuration was lowered to more stricter 1000 from 2000, which is more acceptable.
In this particular bug the problem is that, though the URL length is under 1000, one parameter, 'sql_query', violates the Suhosin limit. What should be our stand on this. Should we adhere to Suhosin default values?
In 3.5 we have a possible solution for this [4] and we can still lower $cfg['LinkLengthLimit'] value without losing the look and feel. However this needs to have JS enabled and I'm not sure whether we want to impose that condition for the 3.4 series.
Madhura, see Documentation.html, FAQ 1.38. You might want to add a suggestion there about suhosin.get.max_value_length.
As you can deduce from this FAQ entry, it was not our intention to adapt to Suhosin's limits.
Would there be any problem in using min($cfg['LinkLengthLimit'], [suhoins max length]) for pma?
