Hi! I took the time to integrate a change I did long ago to an older version of PhpMyAdmin into the latest "stable" release. Sadly, I didn't do it in the latest CVS-build because this port is blocked here at my office. First, what the patch does is to enhance the "Show X rows starting from Y to Z" dialog to the phrase "in [vertical/horizontal] mode and repeat headers after ZZ cells". Then the output done in the display_tbl.lib.php3 file is formated in horizontal or vertical columns, which was quite useful for me in some times I had to browse tables which huge amounts of keys, and I hate to scroll horizontally. Also, that headers are repeated after X cells is quite usefull, I think. I have done my best to make easy changes to the current structure without too much intereference. Somethings could have been done better, because they are now somehow redundant. But maybe one of the core developers can have a look at my changes and proceed at will. If I can be of any help integrating the patch, please let me know. The php-file itself can be found at http://www2.bonnet.de/garvin/display_tbl.lib.txt (I didn't know whether I'm allowed to post attachments or not) - you also have to alter the language and config files, which are appended to my E-Mail. Feedback appreciated. :-)

...

config.inc.php /* BEGIN Changes for new vertical/horizontal Browse mode, Garvin Hicking <hicking@faktor-e.de> */ $cfgLeftWidth = 150; // left frame width $cfgDefaultDisplay = "horizontal"; // default display mode (horizontal|vertical) $cfgRepeatCells = 100; // repeat header names every X cells? (0 = deactivate) /* END Changes for new vertical/horizontal Browse mode, Garvin Hicking <hicking@faktor-e.de> */

...

<language>.inc.php /* BEGIN Changes for new vertical/horizontal Browse mode, Garvin Hicking <hicking@faktor-e.de> */ $strRowsInModePre = 'in'; $strRowsModeVertical = 'vertical'; $strRowsModeHorizontal = 'horizontal'; $strRowsInModeAfter = 'mode and repeat headers after'; $strRowsInModeCells = 'cells'; /* END Changes for new vertical/horizontal Browse mode, Garvin Hicking <hicking@faktor-e.de> */
