Site-Specific Header and Footer
Some users may want to display a company logo, a link to the helpdesk, or other
information on the phpMyAdmin interface. In the main
phpMyAdmin
directory, two
scripts—
config.header.inc.php
and
config.footer.inc.php
—are available for
this purpose. We can add our own PHP or XHTML code in these scripts, and it will
appear at the beginning (for header) or end of page (for footer) of the page:

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, and
FALSE
shows
Documentation
links.
Summary
In this chapter, we covered the language selection system, the purpose of the left
and right panels, the contents of the left panel, including Light mode and Full
mode, and the contents of the right panel, with its various views depending on the
context. We also took a look at the
Query
window and the customization of MySQL
documentation links.
