[Phpmyadmin-devel] using md5(table_name) for identifying a table in PMA_showMessage()
Hi, PMA_showMessage() in common.lib.php uses md5() for generating the table-id, why md5() why not cleartext? and second: why only the table-name? the table is not unique if you have more than one db ... i would change this, if no one complaints. -- Sebastian Mendel www.sebastianmendel.de www.sf.net/projects/phpdatetime | www.sf.net/projects/phptimesheet

Probably because you need to escape plaintext somehow and md5 is easiest way to ensure you don't get any ugly characters on output :-)

No idea, probably was meant only for one database queries... -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com
