sessions work also without cookies and you can store them anywhere
you want (see session_set_save_handler). This is definitely less work
than custom system and also probably more efficient.
I agree. You also have to use
session_set_save_handler when using a db...
I agree also that it is less work, but using a db don't uses very much
work...
Well, now to install and start using PMA, you just have to get the
tar/zip file, unpack it and edit the config.inc.php file. If we use
db-based sessions, it would require another step before being able to
use phpmyadmin: not really user-friendly, don't you think?
(Hint: setup script could do that :) .
Yes setup should create all that stuff - pma user, database and all
needed tables.
But I think that PMA should still be able to work
without
a mandatory DB for config/sessions etc. (just like now: the DB
is optional, if it's there it just brings more features).
Sessions handling could be let on php, what is sometimes considered to
be less secure (you can quite easily steal session from another php
script running on same server). But it should work.
