MySQL documentation links
phpMyAdmin displays links to the MySQL documentation at various places on its
interface. These links refer to the exact point in the official MySQL documentation
to learn about a MySQL command. We can customize the location, language, and
manual type referred to, with the following configuration parameters:
$cfg['MySQLManualBase'] = 'http://www.mysql.com/doc/en';
$cfg['MySQLManualType'] = 'searchable';
You may take a look at http://www.mysql.com/documentation to see the
languages in which the manual is available, and change the parameters accordingly.
For the manual type, the most up-to-date possible values are explained as comments
in config.inc.php . Users who prefer to keep a copy of this documentation on a
local server would specify a local link here.
The $cfg['ReplaceHelpImg'] parameter controls how the links are displayed.
Its default value of TRUE makes phpMyAdmin display small question-mark icons.
However, if it has FALSE value, we are shown the Documentation link.
