First Steps - Mastering phpMyAdmin 2.8 for Effective MySQL Management - page 65

Refresh is used to execute the same query again. The results might change, since a
MySQL server is a multi-user server, and other users might be modifying the same

Navigation Bar
This bar is displayed at the top of results and also at the bottom. Column headers
can be repeated at certain intervals among results depending on the value entered in
repeat headers after... .
In the previous example, the bar was simple:
The bar enables us to navigate from page to page, displaying an arbitrary number
of records (or rows), starting at some point in the results. Since we entered browse
mode by clicking Browse , the underlying query that generated the results includes
the whole table. However, this is not always the case.
Notice that we are positioned at record number 0 and are seeing records in
horizontal mode.
The default display mode is 'horizontal', as defined in $cfg['DefaultDisplay'] .
We can also set this to 'vertical'. Another possibility is the 'horizontalflipped' choice,
which rotates the column headers by 90 degrees. If we try this choice, another
parameter, $cfg['HeaderFlipType' ], plays a role. Its default value, ' css ', displays
true rotated headers, but not every browser supports this - Internet Explorer 6 does
and produces:
On other browsers, it seems the best we can achieve is by setting
$cfg['HeaderFlipType'] to ' fake ':
