Hi,
i would like to introduce saving server, db and table in cookie too, but
only checked in index.php
so a user will always return to the last opened server/db/table
// with true phpMyAdmin will save last opened server/db/table in a
// cookie and restore it when phpMyAdmin re-opens
$cfg['RememberLastPosition'] = true;

Good idea.
// with true phpMyAdmin will save last opened
server/db/table in a
// cookie and restore it when phpMyAdmin re-opens
$cfg['RememberLastPosition'] = true;
I think this would be better if configured per user, but we don't have
framework for that...

OK.
// with true phpMyAdmin will save last opened server/db/table in a

$cfg['RememberLastPosition'] = true;
I would avoid adding another config parameter. I don't see why someone
would not be happy to see his last server/db/table. Fear of having more
cookies?

I would not be happy, because I work on different database most time :-)

Remember, no problem. It's just that "remember" for me means "store in

ShowLastPosition = false means that phpMyAdmin remembers position? It's
confustion.
I think RememberLastPosition is better (and when it's false, link will
be shown).

You are right, but I still think that we should not add too many cookies.
Besides, using pmadb would enable possible sysadmin interventions in
terms of correcting user preferences in case of problems, implementing
site-specific default for them, etc.

PMA project has a bug entry for an installation having thousands of
