[Phpmyadmin-devel] DB-based configuration
Greetings everybody, Now that my finals are over, the first set of changes are going to be underway for the DB-based configuration mechanisms. The one major change that needs to put into the existing code revolves around how we deal with the configuration variable names. Presently in config.inc.php3 we have some code like this: $cfgServers[$i]['relation'] = ''; $cfgServerDefault = 1; etc. For writing the configuration mechanism, I would like to move everything to an array such as $cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] = ''; $cfg['ServerDefault'] = 1; Instead, and then I can implement the entire configuration mechanism transparently inside a library function, that is called at startup to handle anything that needs to be done. Unfortunetly, there are ~760 instances of '$cfg', so this change is going to take a while, and ideally we would want to have this change well settled and in place to implement the configuration mechanism, as it _WILL_ break things if it is only partially implemented. Is somebody else willing to help me on this? -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2@orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639
Robin, Yes I can help you. Let's see how many want to help, then we can split the work. Marc Robin Johnson a écrit :

Sounds like a copy&paste work. Sounds like a job for me :o) Alexander
Robin, Alexander, how do we split the work? I could do the tbl_* files, Alexander could do the /libraries, and you could do the rest. OK? I will also put on phpmyadmin.net that CVS version is 2.3.0 and may be broken, ok? Robin Johnson a écrit :

I will also put on phpmyadmin.net that CVS version is 2.3.0 and may be broken, ok? As Loic said, could you tag the tree before we start the major work, and then notify us on the list that the tree is tagged?

So, the backwards compatibility code is up to me (common.lib.php3)? :o) All right then, I'll convert the libraries. Robin, could you just rewrite the config.inc.php3 so that it fits into your code and send it to Marc, Loïc and me? Thx, Alexander

Robin, could you just rewrite the config.inc.php3 so that it fits into your code and send it to Marc, Lo�c and me? Thx, The updated config.inc.php3 is attached. I have NOT checked it into the CVS tree at this time, as I am uncertain what is taking place with that given the current discussions on that matter.

Should we really support the old config file format?
