[Phpmyadmin-devel] trapping fatal errors

[Piotr Przybylski]

User could be notified earlier about an error if during export PMA
would periodically (eg. each 5 secs) call server through HXR to read a
session variable with current state. Then:

1. During export, after 5 secs a user sees a message "Export pending".
2a. User has JavaScript enabled and HXR fires every 5 seconds
2a1. Export failed - user sees a message "Export failed with error:
{error read from session variable}"
2a2. Export succeeded - user sees a message "Export successfully completed"
2b. User has JavaScript disabled
2b1. Export failed - user sees error message on next page refresh
2b2. Export succeeded - nothing happens

When user has JavaScript disabled the behavior would be as it is now
because messages would be triggered by XHR request.

Piotr
