[Phpmyadmin-devel] ideas / concerns / problems [about|with] user settings feature

[Zeeshan M.]

Hi,


*I suggest you become more familiar with the code base, either by
studying the links in the interface, or by following the code flow thru
a debugger.*

I am using Notepad++ for development, which I believe does not have a plugin
for debugging PHP code.  I know Eclipse PDT has a debugging tool for PHP,
but I am not really fond of using Eclipse.  I was wondering if you have any
personal recommendations about it that would be awesome.
*
*Here are my notes:

- inputs for all the settings are available on the admin interface, and all
the current values (extracted from db) are selected on page load
- things left out to be done in coming days:
  - processing form inputs
  - handling errors using phpmyadmin default error handler
  - updating settings' values in db upon form submission
  - changing session values for each setting; this is going to be the major
part as I would have to dig into pma code base to get it done
  - using PMA_query_as_controluser() for querying database
- when all of the above is done, it would be time to do some JSing to show
off my creativity

patch:

Thanks!


P.S.  I was just wondering what does "lem9" mean?
