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? :)
regards,
Olivier

Afaik somebody was working on this (rabus?), but I can't reach
sourceforge now, so I can't tell...

If you do not want to keep comments, just include it and generate
again...

It would be definitely nice :-)

right, that was at the very end of the feature request tracker :)

[ 601016 ] Setup Script (for 3.0)
But no lines of code yet, or maybe on the devel system
of rabus? :)
cheers,

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).

Sure, bug fixing is the priority number 1. And about mysqli,
are you still around Marcel ? :-)

Well, it doesn't have to be 100% full-featured at the begining:
displaying the result as text file in the browser would already
be fine, and then copy/paste -> config.inc.php.
If you already have some code or ideas, please post them under
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=601016&gro…
