Hi Olivier!

or to take less place, a link with an onclick attribute like this

<a href="#null" onclick="document.myform.submit()">Modify</a>

We can't use a button, because then we would have to use javascript to submit it via GET. And we don't want phpMyAdmin to be dependant on JavaScript. On the other hand, if a button shows up in your table display, you're doing something wrong with your table layout anyways. Use primary keys where possible, and you won't have to deal with extra length GET methods... But thanks for your consideration, Garvin.

ok but why not place a button for GET method as well ? If more than 2048 chars, use POST method, otherwise GET method, and for the user that would be transparent

Hi Olivier!

Thanks for translating that - the reason is because the Internet Explorer doesn't allow posting a form via a GET method when there are more than 2048 chars. So we use the POST field whenever a request is larger that 2048 chars, and then we have to use buttons.

You could reduce that by placing primary keys on your table, so phpMyAdmin doesn't have to take so many chars into regard when building a unique condition to fetch your data.

Regards, Garvin.

Hello

when I show the result of a query "SELECT * FROM WHERE ..." in phpMyAdmin, sometimes the link Modify / Delete is replaced by a button.

Why this and will it be fixed in phpMyAdmin 2.5.0 final release ?

This is a strange bug because if there is sometimes a button, that means there must be a condition which, when it is true, shows a button, otherwise a link. But why that test ?

thanks

Olivier

Hi Olivier!

Are you able to write in english? If yes, please do so. I'm curious what you're writing about :)

Bonjour,

lorsque j'affiche le contenu d'une requete SELECT dans phpmyadmin, parfois je vois un lien Modifier / Supprimer parfois ce lien est remplacé par un bouton.

A quoi cela est-il du et est-ce que ce sera corrigé dans la version 2.5.0 ?

En tout cas c'est un étrange bug :) car s'il y a un bouton qui apparait parfois il doit y avoir un test sur une condition qui, quand elle est à vrai, affiche un bouton, sinon un lien. Mais pourquoi ce test ?

Cordialement,

Olivier Brouckaert webmaster@internetservices-fr.net
