Data entry panel tuning for CHAR and
VARCHAR
By default, phpMyAdmin displays an input field on a single line for the column
types
CHAR
and
VARCHAR
. This is controlled by setting
$cfg['CharEditing']
to
'input'
. Sometimes, we may want to insert line breaks (new lines) within the field.
This can be done by setting
$cfg['CharEditing']
to
'textarea'
. This is a global
setting, and will apply to all the columns of all the tables, for all users of this copy
of phpMyAdmin. In this mode, insertion of line breaks may be done manually with
the
Enter
key, or by copying and pasting lines of text from another on-screen source.
Applying this setting would generate a different
Insert
screen, shown as follows:
With this entry mode, the maximum length of each column no longer applies
visually. It would be enforced by MySQL at insert time.
