[phpMyAdmin Developers] Stackoverflow question about PHP7 and "Cannot log in to the MySQL server"

[Isaac Bennetch]

There's a report[1] from a user who recently upgraded to PHP7 and is
getting the Cannot log in to the MySQL server error message with
phpMyAdmin. He's done quite a bit of troubleshooting and I don't see
anything obviously wrong with his setup. I'd be delighted if some other
developers could look over the question and see if they can find some
hint here.

Thanks
