Hi List!
My suggestions:
- php >= 4.1.0 (Dec. 10th, 2001)
- MySQL >= 3.23.32 (Jan. 22nd, 2001)
I fully agree to what Rabus said about PHP3/MySQL < 3.23 compatibility. I like the idea of leavin phpMyAdmin 2.5.0 the last release for older version compatibility. We should then try to implement MySQL 4.1 features and maybe some better InnoDB/Relationship as well as a complete Session-based rewrite of the code. Even though that sounds like much work I think adapting the current code to sessions should be more a work of some weeks rather than few months. And we basically need new code to make phpMyAdmin usable for future PHP/MySQL versions. Maybe some of you have read what I posted in the MS-SQL forum thread...
Anyways, those steps would then lead to a new phpMyAdmin 3.0. And most importantly as Rabus told, phpMyAdmin will always be in its previous version a tool for PHP3 users. Those people don't tend to be accessive to new feature implemented in phpMyAdmin if they won't even upgrade their PHP3 accounts. It's real hard to get a PHP3 server nowadays.
To make a long story short: +1 :-)
Regards, Garvin.
