an option is "cookies" as they are mandatory now.
You are right, but I still think that we should not add too many cookies.
i think of only one pma_cookie with "bitcoded options" as most parameters are boolean.
Besides, using pmadb would enable possible sysadmin interventions in terms of correcting user preferences in case of problems, implementing site-specific default for them, etc.
ok (if the isp has not too many users. BTW is there any info available, which isp serves how many users via pma ?)
