Requirements
* phpMyAdmin widely uses the 'str_replace()' php function that was
added in PHP 3.0.6, but was buggy up until PHP 3.0.8. Then you
should not run this script with PHP3 < 3.0.8.
PHP also needs to be compiled with mysql and PRCE support;
* MySQL (tested with 3.21.x, 3.22.x and 3.23.x);
* a web-browser (doh!).

Introduction
phpMyAdmin can administer a whole MySQL-server (needs a super-user)
but also a single database. To accomplish the latter you'll need a
properly set up MySQL-user who can read/write only the desired
database. It's up to you to look up the appropiate part in the MySQL
manual. Currently phpMyAdmin can:
* create and drop databases
* create, copy, drop and alter tables
* delete, edit and add fields
* execute any SQL-statement, even batch-queries
* manage keys on fields
* load text files into tables
* create (*) and read dumps of tables
* export (*) and import data to CSV values
* administer multiple servers and single databases
* communicate in more than 20 different languages
(*) phpMyAdmin can compress (GZip format -RFC 1952- or Bzip2) dumps
and CSV exports if you use PHP4 >= 4.0.4 with Zlib support
(--with-zlib) and/or Bzip2 support (--with-bz2).

Installation
Quick Install:
1. Untar or unzip the distribution (be sure to untar the
subdirectories): tar xzvf phpMyAdmin_x.x.x.tar.gz
2. Open the file config.inc.php3 in your favourite editor and change
the values for host, user and password to fit your environment.
Have a look at Documentation.html for an explanation of all
values.
3. It is recommended that you protect the directory in which you
installed phpMyAdmin (unless it's on a closed intranet), for
example with HTTP-AUTH (in a .htaccess file). See the FAQ section
for additional information.
4. Open the file <www.your-host.com>/<your-install-dir>/index.php3 in
your browser. phpMyAdmin should now display a welcome screen and
your databases, or a login dialog if using advanced
authentication.
Installation notes:
* Be sure to protect the phpMyAdmin-directory. By default, it is not
protected in any way! It shouldn't be readable by anyone and
especially not by search-engines. Although I've added a "nofollow"
directive on every page, there may be search-engines that don't
care about that and still follow the links on the page. Think of
AltaVista following a link named "Drop Database". You can get an
overview of Apache's authentification methods at:
[32]http://www.apacheweek.com/features/userauth
* If you don't use the extension ".php3" for your scripts, you can
use the bundled script extchg.sh to modify phpMyAdmin (or any
other script) to work with a different extension. Beware though,
that currently changing the extension from .html to something
other won't work (it'd change all "string".htmlspecialchars()
constructs).
Upgrading from an older version:
* Please do not copy your older config.inc.php3 over the new one: it
may offer new configuration variables, and the new version may
depend on these for normal behavior. It is suggested instead to
insert your site values in the new one.

______________________________________________________________________
Configuration
All configurable data is placed in config.inc.php3.
$cfgServers array
Since version 1.4.2, phpMyAdmin supports the administration of
multiple MySQL-server. Therefore, a $cfgServers-array has been
added which contains the login information for the different
servers. $cfgServers[1]['host'] contains the hostname of the
first server, $cfgServers[2]['host'] the hostname of the second
server, etc. If you have only one server to administer, simply
leave free the hostname of the other $cfgServer-entries.
$cfgServers[n]['host'] string
The hostname of your n-th MySQL-server. E.g. localhost.
$cfgServers[n]['port'] string
The port-number of your n-th MySQL-server. Default is 3300
(leave blank).
$cfgServers[n]['adv_auth'] boolean
Whether basic or advanced authentication should be used for
this server.
Basic authentication ($adv_auth = false) is the plain old way:
username and password are stored in config.inc.php3. Advanced
authentication ($adv_auth = true) as introduced in 1.3.0 allows
you to log in as any valid MySQL user via HTTP-Auth.
Please note that this authentication mode is only supported
with PHP running as an Apache module, and not with cgi.
Using advanced authentication is recommended:
+ when phpMyAdmin is running in a multi-user environment where
people have shell-access that you don't want to know the
username/password for MySQL.
+ when you want to give users access to their own database and
don't want them to play around with others.
Advanced authentication is secure as the standard user needs
just read-only-access to the mysql database. MySQL passwords
cannot be decrypted easily, so there's no chance for a normal
user to look at other users' plaintext passwords.
All you have to provide in config.inc is a standard user which
can connect to MySQL and read the mysql user/db table (see
$cfgServers[n]['stduser']).
See also the FAQ section for more information about security.
$cfgServers[n]['stduser'] string
$cfgServers[n]['stdpass'] string
A user/pasword pair used to verify the real user/password pair
when using advanced authentification. This user must be able to
connect to MySQL and read the mysql user table.
Not needed when using basic authentification.
$cfgServers[n]['user'] string
$cfgServers[n]['password'] string
The user/password-pair which phpMyAdmin will use to connect to
this MySQL-server when using basic authentification.
Not needed when using advanced authentification.
$cfgServers[n]['only_db'] string
If set to a database name, only this database will be shown to
the user.
$cfgServers[n]['verbose'] string
Only useful when using phpMyAdmin with multiple server entries.
If set, this string will be displayed instead of the hostname
in the pulldown menu on the main page. This can be useful if
you want to show only certain databases on your system, for
example.
$cfgServers[n]['bookmarkdb'] string
$cfgServers[n]['bookmarktable'] string
Since release 2.2.0 phpMyAdmin allows to bookmark queries. This
can be useful for queries you often run.
To use this functionality you have to:
+ create a table following this scheme:
CREATE TABLE bookmark (
id int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment,
dbase varchar(255) NOT NULL,
user varchar(255) NOT NULL,
label varchar(255) NOT NULL,
query text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
+ then complete the two variables $cfgServers[n]['bookmarkdb']
and $cfgServers[n]['bookmarktable'] so phpMyAdmin will be
able to find the bookmark table.
$cfgServerDefault integer
If you have more than one server configured, you can set
$cfgServerDefault to any one of them to autoconnect to that
server when phpMyAdmin is started, or set it to 0 to be given a
list of servers without logging in.
If you have only one server configured, $cfgServerDefault MUST
be set to that server.
$cfgManualBase string
If set to an URL which points to the MySQL documentation,
appropriate help links are generated.
$cfgConfirm boolean
Whether a warning ("Are your really sure..") should be
displayed when you're about to loose data.
$cfgPersistentConnections boolean
Whether persistent connections should be used or not
(mysql_connect or mysql_pconnect).
$cfgBorder integer
The size of a table's border.
$cfgThBgcolor string [HTML color]
The color (HTML) used for table headers.
$cfgBgcolorOne string [HTML color]
The color (HTML) #1 for table rows.
$cfgBgcolorTwo string [HTML color]
The color (HTML) #2 for table rows.
$cfgMaxRows integer
Number of rows displayed when browsing a resultset. If the
resultset contains more rows, Previous/Next links will be
shown.
$cfgOrder string ["DESC"|"ASC"]
Defines whether fields are displayed in ascending ("ASC") order
or in descending ("DESC") order when you click on the
field-name.
$cfgShowBlob boolean
Defines whether BLOB fields are shown when browsing a table's
content or not.
$cfgProtectBlob boolean
Defines whether BLOB fields are protected from edition when
browsing a table's content or not.
$cfgShowSQL boolean
$cfgShowSQL boolean
Defines whether sql-queries generated by phpMyAdmin should be
displayed or not.
$cfgTextareaCols integer
Number of columns for the textareas.
$cfgTextareaRows integer
Number of rows for the textareas.
$cfgModifyDeleteAtLeft boolean
$cfgModifyDeleteAtRight boolean
Defines the place where modify and delete links would be put
when tables contents are displayed (you may have them displayed
both at the left and at the right).
$cfgSkipLockedTables boolean
Mark used tables and make it possible to show databases with
locked tables (since 3.23.30).
$cfgLeftWidth integer
Left frame width in pixel.
$cfgDefaultLang string
Defines the default language to use, if not browser-defined or
user-defined.
See the select_lang.inc.php3 script to know the valid values
for this setting.
$cfgLang string
Force: always use this language (must be defined in the
select_lang.inc.php3 script).
$cfgOBGzip boolean
Defines whether to use gzip output buffering for increased
speed in HTTP transfers.
$cfgColumnTypes array
All possible types of a MySQL column. In most cases you don't
need to edit this.
$cfgFunctions array
A list of functions MySQL supports. In most cases you don't
need to edit this.
$cfgAttributeTypes array
Possible attributes for fields. In most cases you don't need to
edit this.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
The error message "Warning: Cannot add header information - headers
already sent by ..." is displayed, what's the problem?
Look at the end of your config.inc.php or .php3 file, there must be no
blank lines or spaces after the ?>.
I can't insert new rows into a table - MySQL brings up a SQL-error.
Examine the SQL error with care. I've found that many programmers
specifying a wrong field-type.
Common errors include:
* Using VARCHAR without a size argument
* Using TEXT or BLOB with a size argument
Also, look at the syntax chapter in the MySQL manual to confirm that
your syntax is correct.
phpMyAdmin can't connect to MySQL. What's wrong?
Either there is an error with your PHP setup or your username/password
is wrong. Try to make a small script which uses mysql_connect and see
if it works. If it doesn't, it may be you haven't even compiled MySQL
support into PHP.
The error message "Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to
local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111)...") is
displayed. What can I do?
Here is a fix suggested by Brad Ummer in the [49]phpwizard forum:
* First, you need to determine what socket is being used by MySQL.
To do this, telnet to your server and go to the MySQL bin
directory. In this directory there should be a file named
mysqladmin. Type ./mysqladmin variables, and this should give you
a bunch of info about your MySQL server, including the socket
(/tmp/mysql.sock, for example).
* Then, you need to tell PHP to use this socket.
Assuming you are using PHP 3.0.10 or better, you can specify the
socket to use when you open the connection. To do this in
phpMyAdmin, you need to edit the host information in the
config.inc.php file using the format 'host_name:socket_name'.
For example: $cfgServers[n]['host'] = 'localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock';
phpMyAdmin always gives "Access denied" when using advanced
authentification.
This could happen for some reasons:
* $stduser/$stdpassword is wrong. Try to turn off $adv_auth and use
this username and password to connect to MySQL.
* The username/password your specify in the login-dialog is wrong.
Try the same as above and see if it works.
* You have already setup a security mechanism for the
phpMyAdmin-directory, eg. a .htaccess file. This would interfere
with phpMyAdmin's authentification, so remove it.
I would like to help out with the development of phpMyAdmin. How
should I proceed?
The following method is preferred for new developers:
* fetch the current CVS tree over anonymous CVS:
cvs
-d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpmy
admin login
[Password: simply press the Enter key]
cvs -z3
-d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpmy
admin checkout phpMyAdmin
or
cvs -z3
-d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpmy
admin checkout phpMyAdmin-devel
[This will create a new sub-directory named phpMyAdmin or
phpMyAdmin-devel]
* add your stuff
* put the modified files (tar'ed and gzip'ed) inside the patch
tracker of the [50]phpMyAdmin SourceForge account.
Write access to the CVS tree is granted only to experienced developers
who have already contributed something useful to phpMyAdmin.
Also, have a look at the file DEVELOPERS.
What's the preferred way of making phpMyAdmin secure against evil
access?
This depends on your system.
If you're running a server which cannot be accessed by other people,
it's sufficient to use the directory protection bundled with your
webserver (with Apache you can use .htaccess files, for example).
If other people have telnet access to your server, you should use
phpMyAdmin's advanced authentification feature.
Suggestions:
* Your config.inc.php3 file should be chmod 660.
* All your phpMyAdmin files should be chown phpmy.apache, where
phpmy is a user whose password is only known to you, and apache is
the group under which Apache runs.
* You should use PHP safe mode, to protect from other users that try
to include your config.inc.php3 in their scripts.
How can I insert a null value into my table?
Enter "null", without the quotes, as the field's value. This is
especially useful for Timestamp ot AutoIncrement fields.
I'm an ISP. Can I setup one central copy of phpMyAdmin or do I need to
install it for each customer?
Since version 2.0.3, you can setup a central copy of phpMyAdmin for
all your users. The development of this feature was kindly sponsored
by NetCologne GmbH.
This requires a properly setup MySQL user management and phpMyAdmin's
advanced authentication. phpMyAdmin performs these steps, when
authenticating a user:
1. Select all entries from the mysql.user table where the
username/password matches the challenging user. If no rows are
returned, the authentication has failed. Otherwise, phpMyAdmin
continues with step 2.
2. If the user's global Select_Priv is "N" (ie the user is not
allowed to access all databases), phpMyAdmin searches the mysql.db
table for entries with Select_Priv = "Y" belonging to the user. If
no entries are found, the authentication has failed. Otherwise,
phpMyAdmin shows all databases the user is allowed to view.
If the user's global Select_Priv is "Y", all databases in the
system are shown.
This means that you need to add a user to the mysql database as
following:
INSERT INTO user (Host, User, Password, Select_priv, Insert_priv,
Update_priv, Delete_priv, Create_priv, Drop_priv, Reload_priv,
Shutdown_priv, Process_priv, File_priv, Grant_priv, References_priv,
Index_priv, Alter_priv) VALUES ('localhost', 'foo', PASSWORD('bar'),
'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N', 'N')
INSERT INTO db (Host, Db, User, Select_priv, Insert_priv, Update_priv,
Delete_priv, Create_priv, Drop_priv, Grant_priv, References_priv,
Index_priv, Alter_priv) VALUES ('localhost', 'foo_db', 'foo', 'Y',
'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', 'Y', '', '', '', '')
Then only the "foo_db" database will be displayed to user "foo".
How can I GZip or Bzip a dump or a CSV export. It seem to not work?
These features are based on the gzencode() and bzcompress() php
functions to be more independent of the platform (Unix/Windows, Safe
Mode or not, and so on). So, you must have PHP4 >= 4.0.4 and
Zlib/Bzip2 support (--with-zlib and --with-bz2).
I try to insert a text file in a table, and I get:
Error MySQL said: The file '/tmp/phpkvpp60' must be in the database
directory or be readable by all
Your uploaded file is saved by PHP in the "upload dir", as defined in
php.ini by the variable upload_tmp_dir (usually the system default is
/tmp). If this directory is not readable by all, the MySQL server
(which must be running on the same machine) cannot open the file
(except if running as root, which is not recommended).
The system administrator can do a "chmod 777 /tmp": then the MySQL
server will accept to read it. Also, the user must have File
privilege.
I'm having troubles when uploading files. In general file uploads
don't work on my system and uploaded files have a Content-Type: header
in the first line.
It's not really phpMyAdmin related but RedHat 7.0. You have a RedHat
7.0 and you updated your php rpm to php-4.0.4pl1-3.i386.rpm, didn't
you?
So the problem is that this packaged has a serious bug that was
corrected ages ago in php (2001-01-28: see [51]php's bug tracking
system for more details). The problem is that the bugged package is
still available though it was corrected (see [52]redhat's bugzilla for
more details).
So please download [53]the fixed package and the problem should go
away.
And that fixes the \r\n problem with file uploads!

Developers Information
phpMyAdmin is Open Source, so you're invited to contribute to it. Many
great features have been written by other people and you too can help
to make phpMyAdmin a useful tool.
If you're planning to contribute source, please read the following
information:
* All files include header.inc.php3 (layout), lib.inc.php3 (common
functions) and config.inc.php3.
All configuration data belongs in config.inc.php3. Please keep it
free from other code.
Commonly used functions should be added to lib.inc.php3.
* Obviously, you're free to use whatever coding style you want. But
please try to keep your code as simple as possible: beginners are
using phpMyAdmin as an example application.
By the way, we're currently updating all the scripts so they will
be XHTML1.0 and CSS2 compliant on one hand, they will fit [62]PEAR
coding standards on the other hand. Please pay attention to this.
* Please try to keep up the file-naming conventions. Table-related
stuff goes to tbl_*.php3, db-related code to db_*.php3 and so on.
* Please don't use verbose strings in your code, instead add the
string (at least) to english.inc.php3 and print() it out.
* If you want to be really helpful, write an entry for the
ChangeLog.
IMPORTANT: With 1.4.1, development has switched to CVS. The following
method is preferred for new developers:
* fetch the current CVS tree over anonymous CVS:
cvs
-d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpmy
admin login
[Password: simply press the Enter key]
cvs -z3
-d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpmy
admin checkout phpMyAdmin
or
cvs -z3
-d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpmy
admin checkout phpMyAdmin-devel
[This will create a new sub-directory named phpMyAdmin or
phpMyAdmin-devel]
* add your stuff
* put the modified files (tar'ed and gzip'ed) inside the patch
tracker of the phpMyAdmin SourceForge account
([63]http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/)
Write access to the CVS tree is granted only to developers who have
already contributed something useful to phpMyAdmin. If you're
interested in that, please contact us using the phpmyadmin-devel
mailing list.

Original Credits of Version 2.1.0
---------------------------------
This work is based on Peter Kuppelwieser's MySQL-Webadmin. It was his idea
to create a web-based interface to MySQL using PHP3. Although I have not
used any of his source-code, there are some concepts I've borrowed from
him. phpMyAdmin was created because Peter told me he wasn't going to
further develop his (great) tool.
Thanks go to
- Amalesh Kempf <ak-lsml@living-source.com> who contributed the code
for the check when dropping a table or database. He also suggested that
you should be able to specify the primary key on tbl_create.php3. To
version 1.1.1 he contributed the ldi_*.php3-set (Import text-files) as
well as a bug-report. Plus many smaller improvements.
- Jan Legenhausen <jan@nrw.net>: He made many of the changes that
were introduced in 1.3.0 (including quite significant ones like the
authentification). For 1.4.1 he enhanced the table-dump feature. Plus
bug-fixes and help.
- Marc Delisle <DelislMa@CollegeSherbrooke.qc.ca> made phpMyAdmin
language-independent by outsourcing the strings to a separate file. He
also contributed the French translation.
- Alexandr Bravo <abravo@hq.admiral.ru> who contributed
tbl_select.php3, a feature to display only some fields from a table.
- Chris Jackson <chrisj@ctel.net> added support for MySQL functions
in tbl_change.php3. He also added the "Query by Example" feature in 2.0.
- Dave Walton <walton@nordicdms.com> added support for multiple
servers and is a regular contributor for bug-fixes.
- Gabriel Ash <ga244@is8.nyu.edu> contributed the random access
features for 2.0.6.

phpMyAdmin - Installation
-------------------------
Preface:
phpMyAdmin can administer a whole MySQL-server (needs a super-user)
but also a single database. To accomplish the latter you'll need
a properly set up MySQL-user who can read/write only the desired
database. It's up to you to look up the appropiate part in the
MySQL manual.
Please have a look to the Documentation.txt or
Documentation.html files.
Quick Install:
[1] Untar the distribution (be sure to untar the subdirectories)
tar xvf phpMyAdmin_x.x.x.tar
[2] Open the file config.inc.php3 in your favourite editor and change
the values for host, user and password to fit your environment.
Have a lok at Documentation.html for an explanation of all values.
[3] It is recommended that you protect the directory in which
you installed phpMyAdmin (unless it's on a closed intranet),
for example with HTTP-AUTH (in a .htaccess-file).
[4] Open the file <www.your-host.com>/<your-install-dir>/index.php3
in your browser. phpMyAdmin should now display a welcome screen
and your databases.
Bookmarks:
To use the new bookmarks feature, you will have to create a new
db and table on your system, and to type the informations in
config.ini.php3. Table definition:
CREATE TABLE bookmark (
id int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment,
dbase varchar(255) NOT NULL,
user varchar(255) NOT NULL,
label varchar(255) NOT NULL,
query text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
Installation notes:
+ Be sure to protect the phpMyAdmin-directory. By default, it is not
protected in any way! It shouldn't be readable by anyone and
especially not by search-engines. Although I've added a "nofollow"
directive on every page, there may be search-engines that don't
care about that and still follow the links on the page.
Think of AltaVista following a link named "Drop Database"
You can get an overview of Apache's authentification methods at
http://www.apacheweek.com/features/userauth .
+ If you don't use the extension ".php3" for your scripts, you can use
the bundled script "extchg.sh" to modify phpMyAdmin (or any other script)
to work with a different extension. Beware though, that currently changing
the extension from .html to something other won't work (it'd change all
"string".htmlspecialchars() constructs).
