Description

Bug only appeared when phpMyAdmin version was updated to 2.9.x

Edit a record, make a change to a field and then save. Changes not saved and 2 new (blank) records are added to the table.
Deletion of records also throws an error.

PHP Notice messages thrown at time of saving changes:
[Thu Jan 11 09:10:34 2007] [error] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: session_max_rows in /home/moodtest/public_html/admin/mysql/tbl_replace.php on line 80

[Thu Jan 11 09:10:34 2007] [error] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: repeat_cells in /home/moodtest/public_html/admin/mysql/tbl_replace.php on line 82

Tested on user_info_field and tags table.

Confirming. I guess the problem is not in our integration, it is IMHO caused by the recent security improvements in phpmyadmin in handling of global variables. I have found some more similar problems. I will have to make a default install first to file proper bug reports upstream

Yes I'm sticking to the old version ...

Can we roll-back our CVS copy to the last known working version?

fixed in cvs, apparently the problem was caused by deregisterglobals hack for 1.5, it works now but 1.5.x is not supported anymore because phpmyadmin is not compatible(==sacure) with register globals emulated in 1.5.x

imported new 2.9.2 with security fixes from upstream

closing now, please reopen if needed.
