>permUsrPref.table should not be hardcoded, but configurable

I think we discussed this a long time back. [0] I suppose EAV model had "design flaws" as suggested by Marc Delisle, and other developers. Please correct me if I am wrong, or you are referring to something else by "configurable".

I can use PMA_query_as_controluser for UPDATE query. But when I use it for SELECT I get errors. [1] Following line of code demonstrates how I am implementing PMA_query_as_controluser:

return PMA_DBI_fetch_result(PMA_query_as_controluser($sql));

I have also commented out implementation of PMA_query_as_controluser in ./libraries/PermUsrPreg.class.php just in case if you were interested in seeing.

I created a function in ./libraries/common.lib.php to include common files. Please let me know if there are further improvements you can suggest on this issue.

I also tried to include:

* Creates a $pma_usr_prefs pointer

$pma_usr_prefs = new PMA_PermUsrPref();

but it seems it is not being recognized as an object because of being remotely included in a standalone function:

Fatal error: Call to a member function fetchSettingValue() on a non-object

Well, that is why I need feedback from phpMyAdmin gurus (like you) so I can fix such problems (sometimes lame) before the code is committed. :-)

You can download the revision through tracker.

Thanks so much for you help! I highly appreciate your time and dedication. :-)
