[Phpmyadmin-devel] about mysql.user
Hi, can I assume that the password is always the third field of mysql.user? Marc

Why not just specify the fields you want, in the order you want in your query? -- Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2@orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=people.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639

Because the goal is to find if the name of the password field in mysql.user is Password or password, and I wanted to avoid doing a loop for each of the fields, looking for "assword". I am implementing the fix in user_details as is, maybe someone will come with a better solution. Marc

hmm dont know why it would be different (Password or password) but how about a simple solution *G* show fields from mysql.user like "%assword"

Just forget my previous mail, this solution is the better one ;-) Alexander

What about this: $res = PMA_mysql_query($sql_query, $dbh); $row = mysql_fetch_array($res, MYSQL_ASSOC); if (isset($row['Password'])) { $pw_key = 'Password'; } else if (isset($row['password'])) { $pw_key = 'password'; } else { $pw_key = FALSE; } $pw_key should now contain the correct column name for the password field or FALSE is there is neither a "Password" nor a "password" field.
