We can take
a look at this file to see the syntax used and further comments about configuration. See
the important note about this file in the Upgrading phpMyAdmin section of this chapter.
Tips for Editing config.inc.php on a
Windows Client
This file contains special characters (Unix-style end of lines), so we must open it with
a text editor that understands this format. If we use the wrong text editor, the file will
be displayed with very long lines.
The best choice is a standard PHP editor. Another choice would be WordPad,
MetaPad or UltraEdit, but we should be careful not to add any characters (even
blank lines) at the beginning or end of the file. This would disturb the execution of
phpMyAdmin and generate the Cannot send header output... error message. If this
happens, refer to Chapter 20, Troubleshooting and Support.
Each time the config.inc.php file is modified, it will have to be transferred again to
our web space. This transfer might have to be done explicitly with a specific transfer
program, or it might be done by a feature of an editor like HomeSite, Komodo, or
PHPEdit, which can save directly via FTP.
The config.inc.php File
This file contains valid PHP code, defining the majority of the parameters (expressed
by PHP variables) that we can change to tune phpMyAdmin to our own needs. There
are also normal PHP comments in it, and we can comment our changes.
