Bug Tracker
In this tracker, we see bugs that have not yet been fixed, plus bugs that have been
fixed for the next version. (This is to avoid getting duplicate bug reports.)
Environment Description
Since developers will be trying to reproduce the problem mentioned, it helps to
describe your environment. This description can be short but should contain the
following items:
•
phpMyAdmin version (the team, however, expects that it is the current
stable version)
Web server name and version
PHP version
MySQL version
Browser name and version
•
•
•
•
Usually, specifying the operating system on which the server or the client are
running is not necessary unless we notice that the bug pertains to only one OS. For
example, FAQ 5.1 describes a problem where the user could not create a table having
more than 14 fields. This happens only under Windows 98.
Bug Description
We should give a precise description of what happens (including any error message,
the expected results, and the effective results we get). Reports are easily managed
if they describe only one problem per bug report (unless the problems are
clearly linked).
Sometimes, it might help to attach a short export file to the bug report to help
developers reproduce the problem. Screenshots are welcome.
Contributing to the Project
Since 1998, hundreds of people have contributed translations, code for new features,
suggestions, and bug fixes.
The Code Base
The development team maintains an evolving code base from which they periodically
issue releases. A paragraph in the home page downloads section describes how to use
