your reasons against sessions, if any?
First of all, the PHP3 compatibility. We try to keep the code PHP3
compatible as far as possible so we cannot take session support as a
requirement of phpMyAdmin.
But imho it'll be great to use sessions. This should lower down the
traffic a lot. I even thought about a session-equivalent to the cookie
authentification mode.
It would be interesting to see how many people are still using
PHP3... Found only stats for php alone (for example:
http://www.securityspace.com/s_survey/data/man.200212/apachemods.html ),
nothing comparing php3 and php4.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23067 shows
that there are about 10% people downloading the archive with
php3 file endings, but does it really mean something? I
also usualy get the "php3" version, just to be able to update
easily with a cvs update...
Should we drop php3 support ? PHP4 is already 2 years old now :)

Olivier
