phpMyAdmin

It's been mentioned before ... but when can we can a more up-to-date-version of phpMyAdmin. (2.2.4)

Surely it can't be that big a deal to get the latest version - or at least a newer one the than 300 yr old one we got now.

How about adding even just 2.3.2 ?

Thanks

David

What is it with phpmyadmin that I cant even get a comment from anyone at matrix?

Is it really that hard to do?

? I never even saw this post, I would isntall a new version myself, but phpmyadmin still has big bugs in the newest version

Hello Stephen ...I use version 2.3.2 at home that seems to be fine (no bugs?) and the improved menu over the archaic Matrix version does makes things easier, for me at least ;-)

There are indeed bugs in the latest version David (also some present in earlier versions) ... most of the recent bugs are security related which many people are probably not aware of.

An example of a recent security bulletin follows

phpMyAdmin XSS Vulnerabilities, Transversal Directory Attack ,

Information Encoding Weakness and Path Disclosures

Is it possible to make auotomatic login into phpMyAdmin from the link in Control Panel? Now this link only redirect you to phpMyAdmin Login Screen.

[Brangwyn]

Theres no real way to make it an automatic logon, for starters if a person has multiple databases and multiple database users, how would you know which one they wanted to actually log in to and which user they wanted to use ?

[Allergy]

But what actualy doing "icon/link" Login there?

[Brangwyn]

Its there to take you to the myphpadmin logon screen so people don't have to remember the URL.
