Hi Marc,
About the test
case,
https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/pull/390
I think I find the reason. Refer to the link
http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.cookies.php
$_COOKIE (PHP 4 >= 4.1.0, PHP 5)
$HTTP_COOKIE_VARS [deprecated]
So PHP 4.1.0, Introduced $_COOKIE that deprecated $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS.
I am using PHP 5.3.25 on this server.
Is errors still existed when using PHP 5.3.25?
the travis build is working for PHP 5.3 5.4 5.5:
