Our "config.inc.php" is getting bigger and bigger and is quite complex, especially for "newbies".
What about a simple ~/setup.php which would ask a few simple questions and generate a basic config.inc.php (and why not create/upgrade the 'phpmyadmin' DB), or a perl script like in squirrelmail?
step1: generate a new config.inc.php step2: generate config.inc.php based on an older version -> probably quite (too?) complex, the current file is not really 'parser-friendly'
Wouldn't it be great to have something like that for the 2.6.0 release? :)
I suggest to do this after 2.6.0. Our goal for 2.6.0 was mysqli and the new charset support. But lots of bugs have been reported and take time to fix.
About the installer, we will have to be compatible with servers in PHP safe mode (offer to download the resulting config file).
