phpmyadmin配置信息

Configuration

Warning for Mac users: PHP does not seem to like Mac end of lines character ("\r"). So ensure you choose the option that allows to use the *nix end of line character ("\n") in your text editor before saving a script you have modified.

Configuration note: Almost all configurable data is placed in config.inc.php. If this file does not exist, please refer to the Quick install section to create one. This file only needs to contain the parameters you want to change from their corresponding default value in libraries/config.default.php.

The parameters which relate to design (like colors) are placed in themes/themename/layout.inc.php. You might also want to createconfig.footer.inc.php and config.header.inc.php files to add your site specific code to be included on start and end of each page.

$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] string

Sets here the complete URL (with full path) to your phpMyAdmin installation's directory. E.g.http://www.your_web.net/path_to_your_phpMyAdmin_directory/. Note also that the URL on some web servers are case–sensitive. Don’t forget the trailing slash at the end.

Starting with version 2.3.0, it is advisable to try leaving this blank. In most cases phpMyAdmin automatically detects the proper setting. Users of port forwarding will need to set PmaAbsoluteUri (more info). A good test is to browse a table, edit a row and save it. There should be an error message if phpMyAdmin is having trouble auto–detecting the correct value. If you get an error that this must be set or if the autodetect code fails to detect your path, please post a bug report on our bug tracker so we can improve the code.

$cfg['PmaNoRelation_DisableWarning'] boolean

Starting with version 2.3.0 phpMyAdmin offers a lot of features to work with master / foreign – tables (see $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb']). 
If you tried to set this up and it does not work for you, have a look on the "Structure" page of one database where you would like to use it. You will find a link that will analyze why those features have been disabled.
If you do not want to use those features set this variable to TRUE to stop this message from appearing.

$cfg['SuhosinDisableWarning'] boolean

A warning is displayed on the main page if Suhosin is detected. You can set this parameter to TRUE to stop this message from appearing.

$cfg['McryptDisableWarning'] boolean

Disable the default warning that is displayed if mcrypt is missing for cookie authentication. You can set this parameter toTRUE to stop this message from appearing.

$cfg['AllowThirdPartyFraming'] boolean

Setting this to true allows a page located on a different domain to call phpMyAdmin inside a frame, and is a potential security hole allowing cross-frame scripting attacks.

$cfg['blowfish_secret'] string

The "cookie" auth_type uses blowfish algorithm to encrypt the password.
If you are using the "cookie" auth_type, enter here a random passphrase of your choice. It will be used internally by the blowfish algorithm: you won’t be prompted for this passphrase. There is no maximum length for this secret.

Since version 3.1.0 phpMyAdmin can generate this on the fly, but it makes a bit weaker security as this generated secret is stored in session and furthermore it makes impossible to recall user name from cookie.

$cfg['Servers'] array

Since version 1.4.2, phpMyAdmin supports the administration of multiple MySQL servers. Therefore, a $cfg['Servers']-array has been added which contains the login information for the different servers. The first $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] contains the hostname of the first server, the second $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] the hostname of the second server, etc. In./libraries/config.default.php, there is only one section for server definition, however you can put as many as you need in./config.inc.php, copy that block or needed parts (you don't have to define all settings, just those you need to change).

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] string

The hostname or IP address of your $i-th MySQL-server. E.g. localhost.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] string

The port-number of your $i-th MySQL-server. Default is 3306 (leave blank). If you use "localhost" as the hostname, MySQL ignores this port number and connects with the socket, so if you want to connect to a port different from the default port, use "127.0.0.1" or the real hostname in $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'].

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] string

The path to the socket to use. Leave blank for default.
To determine the correct socket, check your MySQL configuration or, using the mysql command–line client, issue the statuscommand. Among the resulting information displayed will be the socket used.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['ssl'] boolean

Whether to enable SSL for connection to MySQL server.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] string

What type connection to use with the MySQL server. Your options are 'socket' and 'tcp'. It defaults to 'tcp' as that is nearly guaranteed to be available on all MySQL servers, while sockets are not supported on some platforms.

To use the socket mode, your MySQL server must be on the same machine as the Web server.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] string

What php MySQL extension to use for the connection. Valid options are: 

mysql : The classic MySQL extension. This is the recommended and default method at this time.

mysqli : The improved MySQL extension. This extension became available with php 5.0.0 and is the recommended way to connect to a server running MySQL 4.1.x or newer.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] boolean

Whether to use a compressed protocol for the MySQL server connection or not (experimental).
This feature requires PHP >= 4.3.0.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] string
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] string

This special account is used for 2 distinct purposes: to make possible all relational features (see $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb']) and, for a MySQL server previous to 4.1.2 or running with --skip-show-database, to enable a multi-user installation (HTTP or cookie authentication mode).

When using HTTP or cookie authentication modes (or 'config' authentication mode since phpMyAdmin 2.2.1), you need to supply the details of a MySQL account that has SELECT privilege on the mysql.user (all columns except "Password"), mysql.db (all columns) and mysql.tables_priv (all columns except "Grantor" and "Timestamp") tables. This account is used to check what databases the user will see at login.
Please see the install section on "Using authentication modes" for more information.

In phpMyAdmin versions before 2.2.5, those were called "stduser/stdpass".

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] string ['HTTP'|'http'|'cookie'|'config'|'signon']

Whether config or cookie or HTTP or signon authentication should be used for this server.

• 'config' authentication ($auth_type = 'config') is the plain old way: username and password are stored inconfig.inc.php.
• 'cookie' authentication mode ($auth_type = 'cookie') as introduced in 2.2.3 allows you to log in as any valid MySQL user with the help of cookies. Username and password are stored in cookies during the session and password is deleted when it ends. This can also allow you to log in in arbitrary server if $cfg['AllowArbitraryServer'] enabled.
• 'HTTP' authentication (was called 'advanced' in previous versions and can be written also as 'http') ($auth_type = 'HTTP') as introduced in 1.3.0 allows you to log in as any valid MySQL user via HTTP-Auth.
• 'signon' authentication mode ($auth_type = 'signon') as introduced in 2.10.0 allows you to log in from prepared PHP session data. This is useful for implementing single signon from another application. Sample way how to seed session is in signon example: scripts/signon.php. You need to configure session name and signon URL to use this authentication method.

Please see the install section on "Using authentication modes" for more information.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_swekey_config'] string

The name of the file containing Swekey ids and login names for hardware authentication. Leave empty to deactivate this feature.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] string
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] string

When using auth_type = 'config', this is the user/password-pair which phpMyAdmin will use to connect to the MySQL server. This user/password pair is not needed when HTTP or cookie authentication is used and should be empty.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['nopassword'] boolean

Allow attempt to log in without password when a login with password fails. This can be used together with http authentication, when authentication is done some other way and phpMyAdmin gets user name from auth and uses empty password for connecting to MySQL. Password login is still tried first, but as fallback, no password method is tried.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['only_db'] string or array

If set to a (an array of) database name(s), only this (these) database(s) will be shown to the user. Since phpMyAdmin 2.2.1, this/these database(s) name(s) may contain MySQL wildcards characters ("_" and "%"): if you want to use literal instances of these characters, escape them (I.E. use 'my\_db' and not 'my_db').
This setting is an efficient way to lower the server load since the latter does not need to send MySQL requests to build the available database list. But it does not replace the privileges rules of the MySQL database server. If set, it just means only these databases will be displayed but not that all other databases can't be used. 

An example of using more that one database: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['only_db'] = array('db1', 'db2'); 

As of phpMyAdmin 2.5.5 the order inside the array is used for sorting the databases in the left frame, so that you can individually arrange your databases.
If you want to have certain databases at the top, but don't care about the others, you do not need to specify all other databases. Use: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['only_db'] = array('db3', 'db4', '*'); instead to tell phpMyAdmin that it should display db3 and db4 on top, and the rest in alphabetic order.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['hide_db'] string

Regular expression for hiding some databases. This only hides them from listing, but a user is still able to access them (using, for example, the SQL query area). To limit access, use the MySQL privilege system. 

For example, to hide all databases starting with the letter "a", use

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['hide_db'] = '^a';

and to hide both "db1" and "db2" use 

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['hide_db'] = '(db1|db2)';

More information on regular expressions can be found in the PCRE pattern syntax portion of the PHP reference manual.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] string

Only useful when using phpMyAdmin with multiple server entries. If set, this string will be displayed instead of the hostname in the pull-down menu on the main page. This can be useful if you want to show only certain databases on your system, for example. For HTTP auth, all non-US-ASCII characters will be stripped.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] string

The name of the database containing the linked-tables infrastructure. 

See the Linked-tables infrastructure section in this document to see the benefits of this infrastructure, and for a quick way of creating this database and the needed tables. 

If you are the only user of this phpMyAdmin installation, you can use your current database to store those special tables; in this case, just put your current database name in $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb']. For a multi-user installation, set this parameter to the name of your central database containing the linked-tables infrastructure.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] string

Since release 2.2.0 phpMyAdmin allows users to bookmark queries. This can be useful for queries you often run.

To allow the usage of this functionality:

• set up pmadb and the linked-tables infrastructure
• enter the table name in $cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable']

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] string

Since release 2.2.4 you can describe, in a special 'relation' table, which field is a key in another table (a foreign key). phpMyAdmin currently uses this to

• make clickable, when you browse the master table, the data values that point to the foreign table;
• display in an optional tool-tip the "display field" when browsing the master table, if you move the mouse to a column containing a foreign key (use also the 'table_info' table);
  (see FAQ 6.7)
• in edit/insert mode, display a drop-down list of possible foreign keys (key value and "display field" are shown)
  (see FAQ 6.21)
• display links on the table properties page, to check referential integrity (display missing foreign keys) for each described key;
• in query-by-example, create automatic joins (see FAQ 6.6)
• enable you to get a PDF schema of your database (also uses the table_coords table).

The keys can be numeric or character.

To allow the usage of this functionality:

• set up pmadb and the linked-tables infrastructure
• put the relation table name in $cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation']
• now as normal user open phpMyAdmin and for each one of your tables where you want to use this feature, click "Structure/Relation view/" and choose foreign fields.

Please note that in the current version, master_db must be the same as foreign_db. Those fields have been put in future development of the cross-db relations.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] string

Since release 2.3.0 you can describe, in a special 'table_info' table, which field is to be displayed as a tool-tip when moving the cursor over the corresponding key.
This configuration variable will hold the name of this special table. To allow the usage of this functionality:

• set up pmadb and the linked-tables infrastructure
• put the table name in $cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info']
• then for each table where you want to use this feature, click "Structure/Relation view/Choose field to display" to choose the field.

Usage tip: Display field.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] string
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] string

Since release 2.3.0 you can have phpMyAdmin create PDF pages showing the relations between your tables. To do this it needs two tables "pdf_pages" (storing information about the available PDF pages) and "table_coords" (storing coordinates where each table will be placed on a PDF schema output).

You must be using the "relation" feature.

To allow the usage of this functionality:

• set up pmadb and the linked-tables infrastructure
• put the correct table names in $cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] and $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages']

Usage tips: PDF output.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info'] string

Since release 2.3.0 you can store comments to describe each column for each table. These will then be shown on the "printview". 

Starting with release 2.5.0, comments are consequently used on the table property pages and table browse view, showing up as tool-tips above the column name (properties page) or embedded within the header of table in browse view. They can also be shown in a table dump. Please see the relevant configuration directives later on.

Also new in release 2.5.0 is a MIME-transformation system which is also based on the following table structure. SeeTransformations for further information. To use the MIME-transformation system, your column_info table has to have the three new fields 'mimetype', 'transformation', 'transformation_options'. 

To allow the usage of this functionality:

• set up pmadb and the linked-tables infrastructure
• put the table name in $cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info']
• to update your PRE-2.5.0 Column_comments Table use this:

  ALTER TABLE `pma_column_comments`    ADD `mimetype` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL,    ADD `transformation` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL,    ADD `transformation_options` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL;

  and remember that the Variable in config.inc.php has been renamed from
  $cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_comments'] to $cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info']

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['history'] string

Since release 2.5.0 you can store your SQL history, which means all queries you entered manually into the phpMyAdmin interface. If you don't want to use a table-based history, you can use the JavaScript-based history. Using that, all your history items are deleted when closing the window.

Using $cfg['QueryHistoryMax'] you can specify an amount of history items you want to have on hold. On every login, this list gets cut to the maximum amount.

The query history is only available if JavaScript is enabled in your browser.

To allow the usage of this functionality:

• set up pmadb and the linked-tables infrastructure
• put the table name in $cfg['Servers'][$i]['history']

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking'] string

Since release 3.3.x a tracking mechanism is available. It helps you to track every SQL command which is executed by phpMyAdmin. The mechanism supports logging of data manipulation and data definition statements. After enabling it you can create versions of tables. 

The creation of a version has two effects:

• phpMyAdmin saves a snapshot of the table, including structure and indexes.
• phpMyAdmin logs all commands which change the structure and/or data of the table and links these commands with the version number.

Of course you can view the tracked changes. On the "Tracking" page a complete report is available for every version. For the report you can use filters, for example you can get a list of statements within a date range. When you want to filter usernames you can enter * for all names or you enter a list of names separated by ','. In addition you can export the (filtered) report to a file or to a temporary database. 

To allow the usage of this functionality:

• set up pmadb and the linked-tables infrastructure
• put the table name in $cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking']

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking_version_auto_create'] boolean

Whether the tracking mechanism creates versions for tables and views automatically. Default value is false. 

If this is set to true and you create a table or view with

• CREATE TABLE ...
• CREATE VIEW ...

and no version exists for it, the mechanism will create a version for you automatically.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking_default_statements'] string

Defines the list of statements the auto-creation uses for new versions. Default value is 

CREATE TABLE,ALTER TABLE,DROP TABLE,RENAME TABLE,CREATE INDEX,DROP INDEX,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,TRUNCATE,REPLACE,CREATE VIEW,ALTER VIEW,DROP VIEW,CREATE DATABASE,ALTER DATABASE,DROP DATABASE

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking_version_drop_view'] boolean

Whether a DROP VIEW IF EXISTS statement will added as first line to the log when creating a view. Default value is true. 

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking_version_drop_table'] boolean

Whether a DROP TABLE IF EXISTS statement will added as first line to the log when creating a table. Default value is true. 

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking_version_drop_database'] boolean

Whether a DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS statement will added as first line to the log when creating a database. Default value is true. 

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['designer_coords'] string

Since release 2.10.0 a Designer interface is available; it permits to visually manage the relations. 

To allow the usage of this functionality:

• set up pmadb and the linked-tables infrastructure
• put the table name in $cfg['Servers'][$i]['designer_coords']

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose_check'] boolean

Because release 2.5.0 introduced the new MIME-transformation support, the column_info table got enhanced with three new fields. If the above variable is set to TRUE (default) phpMyAdmin will check if you have the latest table structure available. If not, it will emit a warning to the superuser.

You can disable this checking behavior by setting the variable to false, which should offer a performance increase.

Recommended to set to FALSE, when you are sure, your table structure is up to date.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowRoot'] boolean

Whether to allow root access. This is just a shortcut for the AllowDeny rules below.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] boolean

Whether to allow logins without a password. The default value of false for this parameter prevents unintended access to a MySQL server with was left with an empty password for root or on which an anonymous (blank) user is defined.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['order'] string

If your rule order is empty, then IP authentication is disabled.

If your rule order is set to 'deny,allow' then the system applies all deny rules followed by allow rules. Access is allowed by default. Any client which does not match a Deny command or does match an Allow command will be allowed access to the server. 

If your rule order is set to 'allow,deny' then the system applies all allow rules followed by deny rules. Access is denied by default. Any client which does not match an Allow directive or does match a Deny directive will be denied access to the server.

If your rule order is set to 'explicit', the authentication is performed in a similar fashion to rule order 'deny,allow', with the added restriction that your host/username combination must be listed in the allow rules, and not listed in the deny rules. This is the most secure means of using Allow/Deny rules, and was available in Apache by specifying allow and deny rules without setting any order.

Please also see $cfg['TrustedProxies'] for detecting IP address behind proxies.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['rules'] array of strings

The general format for the rules is as such:

<'allow' | 'deny'> <username> [from] <ipmask>

If you wish to match all users, it is possible to use a '%' as a wildcard in the username field.
There are a few shortcuts you can use in the ipmask field as well (please note that those containing SERVER_ADDRESS might not be available on all webservers):

'all' -> 0.0.0.0/0'localhost' -> 127.0.0.1/8'localnetA' -> SERVER_ADDRESS/8'localnetB' -> SERVER_ADDRESS/16'localnetC' -> SERVER_ADDRESS/24

Having an empty rule list is equivalent to either using 'allow % from all' if your rule order is set to 'deny,allow' or 'deny % from all' if your rule order is set to 'allow,deny' or 'explicit'.

For the IP matching system, the following work:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (an exact IP address)
xxx.xxx.xxx.[yyy-zzz] (an IP address range)
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/nn (CIDR, Classless Inter-Domain Routing type IP addresses)
But the following does not work:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xx[yyy-zzz] (partial IP address range)
Also IPv6 addresses are not supported.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['DisableIS'] boolean

Disable using INFORMATION_SCHEMA to retrieve information (use SHOW commands instead), because of speed issues when many databases are present. Currently used in some parts of the code, more to come.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['ShowDatabasesCommand'] string

On a server with a huge number of databases, the default SHOW DATABASES command used to fetch the name of available databases will probably be too slow, so it can be replaced by faster commands (see libraries/config.default.php for examples).

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['CountTables'] boolean

Whether to count the number of tables for each database when preparing the list of databases for the navigation frame.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['SignonSession'] string

Name of session which will be used for signon authentication method.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['SignonURL'] string

URL where user will be redirected to log in for signon authentication method. Should be absolute including protocol.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['LogoutURL'] string

URL where user will be redirected after logout (doesn't affect config authentication method). Should be absolute including protocol.

$cfg['ServerDefault'] integer

If you have more than one server configured, you can set $cfg['ServerDefault'] to any one of them to autoconnect to that server when phpMyAdmin is started, or set it to 0 to be given a list of servers without logging in.
If you have only one server configured, $cfg['ServerDefault'] MUST be set to that server.

$cfg['MaxDbList'] integer

The maximum number of database names to be displayed in the navigation frame and the database list.

$cfg['MaxTableList'] integer

The maximum number of table names to be displayed in the main panel's list (except on the Export page). This limit is also enforced in the navigation panel when in Light mode.

$cfg['MaxCharactersInDisplayedSQL'] integer

The maximum number of characters when a SQL query is displayed. The default limit of 1000 should be correct to avoid the display of tons of hexadecimal codes that represent BLOBs, but some users have real SQL queries that are longer than 1000 characters. Also, if a query's length exceeds this limit, this query is not saved in the history.

$cfg['OBGzip'] string/boolean

Defines whether to use GZip output buffering for increased speed in HTTP transfers.
Set to true/false for enabling/disabling. When set to 'auto' (string), phpMyAdmin tries to enable output buffering and will automatically disable it if your browser has some problems with buffering. IE6 with a certain patch is known to cause data corruption when having enabled buffering.

$cfg['PersistentConnections'] boolean

Whether persistent connections should be used or not (mysql_connect or mysql_pconnect).

$cfg['ForceSSL'] boolean

Whether to force using https while accessing phpMyAdmin.

$cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] integer [number of seconds]

Set the number of seconds a script is allowed to run. If seconds is set to zero, no time limit is imposed.
This setting is used while importing/exporting dump files and in the Synchronize feature but has no effect when PHP is running in safe mode.

$cfg['MemoryLimit'] integer [number of bytes]

Set the number of bytes a script is allowed to allocate. If set to zero, no limit is imposed.
This setting is used while importing/exporting dump files and at some other places in phpMyAdmin so you definitely don't want to put here a too low value. It has no effect when PHP is running in safe mode.
You can also use any string as in php.ini, eg. '16M'. Ensure you don't omit the suffix (16 means 16 bytes!)

$cfg['SkipLockedTables'] boolean

Mark used tables and make it possible to show databases with locked tables (since MySQL 3.23.30).

$cfg['ShowSQL'] boolean

Defines whether SQL queries generated by phpMyAdmin should be displayed or not.

$cfg['AllowUserDropDatabase'] boolean

Defines whether normal users (non-administrator) are allowed to delete their own database or not. If set as FALSE, the link "Drop Database" will not be shown, and even a "DROP DATABASE mydatabase" will be rejected. Quite practical for ISP's with many customers.
Please note that this limitation of SQL queries is not as strict as when using MySQL privileges. This is due to nature of SQL queries which might be quite complicated. So this choice should be viewed as help to avoid accidental dropping rather than strict privilege limitation.

$cfg['Confirm'] boolean

Whether a warning ("Are your really sure...") should be displayed when you're about to lose data.

$cfg['LoginCookieRecall'] boolean

Define whether the previous login should be recalled or not in cookie authentication mode.

This is automatically disabled if you do not have configured $cfg['blowfish_secret'].

$cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] integer [number of seconds]

Define how long is login cookie valid. Please note that php configuration option session.gc_maxlifetime might limit session validity and if session is lost, login cookie is also invalidated. So it is good idea to set session.gc_maxlifetime at least as high is $cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] is set.

$cfg['LoginCookieStore'] integer [number of seconds]

Define how long is login cookie should be stored in browser. Default 0 means that it will be kept for existing session. This is recommended for not trusted environments.

$cfg['LoginCookieDeleteAll'] boolean

If enabled (default), logout deletes cookies for all servers, otherwise only for current one. Setting this to false makes it easy to forget to log out from other server, when you are using more of them.

$cfg['UseDbSearch'] boolean

Define whether the "search string inside database" is enabled or not.

$cfg['IgnoreMultiSubmitErrors'] boolean

Define whether phpMyAdmin will continue executing a multi-query statement if one of the queries fails. Default is to abort execution.

$cfg['VerboseMultiSubmit'] boolean

Define whether phpMyAdmin will output the results of each query of a multi-query statement embedded into the SQL output as inline comments. Defaults to TRUE.

$cfg['AllowArbitraryServer'] boolean

If enabled allows you to log in to arbitrary servers using cookie auth. 

NOTE: Please use this carefully, as this may allow users access to MySQL servers behind the firewall where your HTTP server is placed.

$cfg['LeftFrameLight'] boolean

Defines whether to use a select-based menu and display only the current tables in the left frame (smaller page). Only in Non-Lightmode you can use the feature to display nested folders using $cfg['LeftFrameTableSeparator']

$cfg['LeftFrameDBTree'] boolean

In light mode, defines whether to display the names of databases (in the selector) using a tree, see also$cfg['LeftFrameDBSeparator'].

$cfg['LeftFrameDBSeparator'] string or array

The string used to separate the parts of the database name when showing them in a tree. Alternatively you can specify more strings in an array and all of them will be used as a separator.

$cfg['LeftFrameTableSeparator'] string

Defines a string to be used to nest table spaces. Defaults to '__'. This means if you have tables like 'first__second__third' this will be shown as a three-level hierarchy like: first > second > third. If set to FALSE or empty, the feature is disabled. NOTE: You should not use this separator at the beginning or end of a table name or multiple times after another without any other characters in between.

$cfg['LeftFrameTableLevel'] string

Defines how many sublevels should be displayed when splitting up tables by the above separator.

$cfg['ShowTooltip'] boolean

Defines whether to display table comment as tool-tip in left frame or not.

$cfg['ShowTooltipAliasDB'] boolean

If tool-tips are enabled and a DB comment is set, this will flip the comment and the real name. That means that if you have a table called 'user0001' and add the comment 'MyName' on it, you will see the name 'MyName' used consequently in the left frame and the tool-tip shows the real name of the DB.

$cfg['ShowTooltipAliasTB'] boolean/string

Same as $cfg['ShowTooltipAliasDB'], except this works for table names. When setting this to 'nested', the Alias of the Tablename is only used to split/nest the tables according to the $cfg['LeftFrameTableSeparator'] directive. So only the folder is called like the Alias, the tablename itself stays the real tablename.

$cfg['LeftDisplayLogo'] boolean

Defines whether or not to display the phpMyAdmin logo at the top of the left frame. Defaults to TRUE.

$cfg['LeftLogoLink'] string

Enter URL where logo in the navigation frame will point to. For use especially with self made theme which changes this. The default value for this is main.php.

$cfg['LeftLogoLinkWindow'] string

Whether to open the linked page in the main window (main) or in a new one (new). Note: use new if you are linking tophpmyadmin.net.

$cfg['LeftDisplayServers'] boolean

Defines whether or not to display a server choice at the top of the left frame. Defaults to FALSE.

$cfg['DisplayServersList'] boolean

Defines whether to display this server choice as links instead of in a drop-down. Defaults to FALSE (drop-down).

$cfg['DisplayDatabasesList'] boolean or text

Defines whether to display database choice in light navigation frame as links instead of in a drop-down. Defaults to 'auto' - on main page list is shown, when database is selected, only drop down is displayed.

$cfg['LeftDefaultTabTable'] string

Defines the tab displayed by default when clicking the small icon next to each table name in the navigation panel. Possible values: "tbl_structure.php", "tbl_sql.php", "tbl_select.php", "tbl_change.php" or "sql.php".

$cfg['ShowStats'] boolean

Defines whether or not to display space usage and statistics about databases and tables.
Note that statistics requires at least MySQL 3.23.3 and that, at this date, MySQL doesn't return such information for Berkeley DB tables.

$cfg['ShowServerInfo'] boolean

Defines whether to display detailed server information on main page. You can additionally hide more information by using$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'].

$cfg['ShowPhpInfo'] boolean
$cfg['ShowChgPassword'] boolean
$cfg['ShowCreateDb'] boolean

Defines whether to display the "PHP information" and "Change password " links and form for creating database or not at the starting main (right) frame. This setting does not check MySQL commands entered directly.

Please note that to block the usage of phpinfo() in scripts, you have to put this in your php.ini:

disable_functions = phpinfo()

Also note that enabling the "Change password " link has no effect with "config" authentication mode: because of the hard coded password value in the configuration file, end users can't be allowed to change their passwords.

$cfg['SuggestDBName'] boolean

Defines whether to suggest a database name on the "Create Database" form or to keep the textfield empty.

$cfg['NavigationBarIconic'] string

Defines whether navigation bar buttons and the right panel top menu contain text or symbols only. A value of TRUE displays icons, FALSE displays text and 'both' displays both icons and text.

$cfg['ShowAll'] boolean

Defines whether a user should be displayed a "show all (records)" button in browse mode or not.

$cfg['MaxRows'] integer

Number of rows displayed when browsing a result set. If the result set contains more rows, "Previous" and "Next" links will be shown.

$cfg['Order'] string [DESC|ASC|SMART]

Defines whether fields are displayed in ascending (ASC) order, in descending (DESC) order or in a "smart" (SMART) order - I.E. descending order for fields of type TIME, DATE, DATETIME and TIMESTAMP, ascending order else- by default.

$cfg['DisplayBinaryAsHex'] boolean

Defines whether the "Show binary contents as HEX" browse option is ticked by default.

$cfg['ProtectBinary'] boolean or string

Defines whether BLOB or BINARY fields are protected from editing when browsing a table's content. Valid values are:

• FALSE to allow editing of all fields;
• 'blob' to allow editing of all fields except BLOBS;
• 'all' to disallow editing of all BINARY or BLOB fields.

$cfg['ShowFunctionFields'] boolean

Defines whether or not MySQL functions fields should be initially displayed in edit/insert mode. Since version 2.10, the user can toggle this setting from the interface.

$cfg['CharEditing'] string

Defines which type of editing controls should be used for CHAR and VARCHAR fields. Possible values are:

• input - this allows to limit size of text to size of field in MySQL, but has problems with newlines in fields
• textarea - no problems with newlines in fields, but also no length limitations

Default is old behavior so input.

$cfg['InsertRows'] integer

Defines the maximum number of concurrent entries for the Insert page.

$cfg['ForeignKeyMaxLimit'] integer

If there are fewer items than this in the set of foreign keys, then a drop-down box of foreign keys is presented, in the style described by the $cfg['ForeignKeyDropdownOrder'] setting.

$cfg['ForeignKeyDropdownOrder'] array

For the foreign key drop-down fields, there are several methods of display, offering both the key and value data. The contents of the array should be one or both of the following strings: 'content-id', 'id-content'.

$cfg['ZipDump'] boolean
$cfg['GZipDump'] boolean
$cfg['BZipDump'] boolean

Defines whether to allow the use of zip/GZip/BZip2 compression when creating a dump file

$cfg['CompressOnFly'] boolean

Defines whether to allow on the fly compression for GZip/BZip2 compressed exports. This doesn't affect smaller dumps and allows users to create larger dumps that won't otherwise fit in memory due to php memory limit. Produced files contain more GZip/BZip2 headers, but all normal programs handle this correctly.

$cfg['LightTabs'] boolean

If set to TRUE, use less graphically intense tabs on the top of the mainframe.

$cfg['PropertiesIconic'] string

If set to TRUE, will display icons instead of text for db and table properties links (like 'Browse', 'Select', 'Insert', ...).
Can be set to 'both' if you want icons AND text.
When set to FALSE, will only show text.

$cfg['PropertiesNumColumns'] integer

How many columns will be utilized to display the tables on the database property view? Default is 1 column. When setting this to a value larger than 1, the type of the database will be omitted for more display space.

$cfg['DefaultTabServer'] string

Defines the tab displayed by default on server view. Possible values: "main.php" (recommended for multi-user setups), "server_databases.php", "server_status.php", "server_variables.php", "server_privileges.php" or "server_processlist.php".

$cfg['DefaultTabDatabase'] string

Defines the tab displayed by default on database view. Possible values: "db_structure.php", "db_sql.php" or "db_search.php".

$cfg['DefaultTabTable'] string

Defines the tab displayed by default on table view. Possible values: "tbl_structure.php", "tbl_sql.php", "tbl_select.php", "tbl_change.php" or "sql.php".

$cfg['MySQLManualBase'] string

If set to an URL which points to the MySQL documentation (type depends on $cfg['MySQLManualType']), appropriate help links are generated.
See MySQL Documentation page for more information about MySQL manuals and their types.

$cfg['MySQLManualType'] string

Type of MySQL documentation:

• viewable - "viewable online", current one used on MySQL website
• searchable - "Searchable, with user comments"
• chapters - "HTML, one page per chapter"
• big - "HTML, all on one page"
• none - do not show documentation links

$cfg['DefaultLang'] string

Defines the default language to use, if not browser-defined or user-defined.
See the select_lang.lib.php script to know the valid values for this setting.

$cfg['DefaultConnectionCollation'] string

Defines the default connection collation to use, if not user-defined.
See the MySQL documentation for list of possible values.

$cfg['Lang'] string

Force: always use this language (must be defined in the select_lang.lib.php script).

$cfg['FilterLanguages'] string

Limit list of available languages to those matching the given regular expression. For example if you want only Czech and English, you should set filter to '^(cs|en)'.

$cfg['DefaultCharset'] string

Default character set to use for recoding of MySQL queries. This must be enabled and it's described by$cfg['AllowAnywhereRecoding'] option.
You can give here any character set which is in $cfg['AvailableCharsets'] array and this is just default choice, user can select any of them.

$cfg['AllowAnywhereRecoding'] boolean

Allow character set recoding of MySQL queries. You need recode or iconv support (compiled in or module) in PHP to allow MySQL queries recoding and used language file must have it enabled (by default only these which are in Unicode, just to avoid losing some characters).

Setting this to TRUE also activates a pull-down menu in the Export and Import pages, to choose the character set when exporting a file. The default value in this menu comes from $cfg['Export']['charset'] and $cfg['Import']['charset'].

$cfg['RecodingEngine'] string

You can select here which functions will be used for character set conversion. Possible values are:

• auto - automatically use available one (first is tested iconv, then recode)
• iconv - use iconv or libiconv functions
• recode - use recode_string function

Default is auto.

$cfg['IconvExtraParams'] string

Specify some parameters for iconv used in charset conversion. See iconv documentation for details. By default //TRANSLIT is used, so that invalid characters will be transliterated.

$cfg['AvailableCharsets'] array

Available character sets for MySQL conversion. You can add your own (any of supported by recode/iconv) or remove these which you don't use. Character sets will be shown in same order as here listed, so if you frequently use some of these move them to the top.

$cfg['TrustedProxies'] array

Lists proxies and HTTP headers which are trusted for IP Allow/Deny. This list is by default empty, you need to fill in some trusted proxy servers if you want to use rules for IP addresses behind proxy.

The following example specifies that phpMyAdmin should trust a HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR (X-Forwarded-For) header coming from the proxy 1.2.3.4:

$cfg['TrustedProxies'] =     array('1.2.3.4' => 'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR');

The $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['rules'] directive uses the client's IP address as usual.

$cfg['GD2Available'] string

Specifies whether GD >= 2 is available. If yes it can be used for MIME transformations.
Possible values are:

• auto - automatically detect, this is a bit expensive operation for php < 4.3.0 so it is preferred to change this according to your server real possibilities
• yes - GD 2 functions can be used
• no - GD 2 function cannot be used

Default is auto.

$cfg['CheckConfigurationPermissions'] boolean

We normally check the permissions on the configuration file to ensure it's not world writable. However, phpMyAdmin could be installed on a NTFS filesystem mounted on a non-Windows server, in which case the permissions seems wrong but in fact cannot be detected. In this case a sysadmin would set this parameter to FALSE. Default is TRUE.

$cfg['LinkLengthLimit'] integer

Limit for length of URL in links. When length would be above this limit, it is replaced by form with button. This is required as some web servers (IIS) have problems with long URLs. Default is 1000.

$cfg['NaviWidth'] integer

Navi frame width in pixels. See themes/themename/layout.inc.php.

$cfg['NaviBackground'] string [valid css code for background]
$cfg['MainBackground'] string [valid css code for background]

The style used for the pointer in the navi frame. See themes/themename/layout.inc.php.

$cfg['NaviDatabaseNameColor'] string [valid css code]

The color used for the database name in the navi frame. See themes/themename/layout.inc.php.

$cfg['LeftPointerEnable'] boolean

A value of TRUE activates the navi pointer (when LeftFrameLight is FALSE).

$cfg['Border'] integer

The size of a table's border. See themes/themename/layout.inc.php.

$cfg['ThBackground'] string [valid css code for background]
$cfg['ThColor'] string [valid css color]

The style used for table headers. See themes/themename/layout.inc.php.

$cfg['BgOne'] string [HTML color]

The color (HTML) #1 for table rows. See themes/themename/layout.inc.php.

$cfg['BgTwo'] string [HTML color]

The color (HTML) #2 for table rows. See themes/themename/layout.inc.php.

$cfg['BrowsePointerBackground'] string [HTML color]
$cfg['BrowsePointerColor'] string [HTML color]
$cfg['BrowseMarkerBackground'] string [HTML color]
$cfg['BrowseMarkerColor'] string [HTML color]

The colors (HTML) uses for the pointer and the marker in browse mode.
The former feature highlights the row over which your mouse is passing and the latter lets you visually mark/unmark rows by clicking on them.
See themes/themename/layout.inc.php.

$cfg['FontFamily'] string

You put here a valid CSS font family value, for example arial, sans-serif.
See themes/themename/layout.inc.php.

$cfg['FontFamilyFixed'] string

You put here a valid CSS font family value, for example monospace. This one is used in textarea.
See themes/themename/layout.inc.php.

$cfg['BrowsePointerEnable'] boolean

Whether to activate the browse pointer or not.

$cfg['BrowseMarkerEnable'] boolean

Whether to activate the browse marker or not.

$cfg['TextareaCols'] integer
$cfg['TextareaRows'] integer
$cfg['CharTextareaCols'] integer
$cfg['CharTextareaRows'] integer

Number of columns and rows for the textareas.
This value will be emphasized (*2) for SQL query textareas and (*1.25) for SQL textareas inside the query window.
The Char* values are used for CHAR and VARCHAR editing (if configured via $cfg['CharEditing']).

$cfg['LongtextDoubleTextarea'] boolean

Defines whether textarea for LONGTEXT fields should have double size.

$cfg['TextareaAutoSelect'] boolean

Defines if the whole textarea of the query box will be selected on click.

$cfg['CtrlArrowsMoving'] boolean

Enable Ctrl+Arrows (Option+Arrows in Safari) moving between fields when editing.

$cfg['LimitChars'] integer

Maximum number of characters showen in any non-numeric field on browse view. Can be turned off by a toggle button on the browse page.

$cfg['ModifyDeleteAtLeft'] boolean $cfg['ModifyDeleteAtRight'] boolean

Defines the place where modify and delete links would be put when tables contents are displayed (you may have them displayed both at the left and at the right). "Left" and "right" are parsed as "top" and "bottom" with vertical display mode.

$cfg['DefaultDisplay'] string $cfg['HeaderFlipType'] string

There are 3 display modes: horizontal, horizontalflipped and vertical. Define which one is displayed by default. The first mode displays each row on a horizontal line, the second rotates the headers by 90 degrees, so you can use descriptive headers even though fields only contain small values and still print them out. The vertical mode sorts each row on a vertical lineup.

The HeaderFlipType can be set to 'css' or 'fake'. When using 'css' the rotation of the header for horizontalflipped is done via CSS. If set to 'fake' PHP does the transformation for you, but of course this does not look as good as CSS.

$cfg['DefaultPropDisplay'] string or integer

When editing/creating new columns in a table all fields normally get lined up one field a line. (default: 'horizontal'). If you set this to 'vertical' you can have each field lined up vertically beneath each other. You can save up a lot of place on the horizontal direction and no longer have to scroll. If you set this to integer, editing of fewer columns will appear in 'vertical' mode, while editing of more fields still in 'horizontal' mode. This way you can still effectively edit large number of fields, while having full view on few of them.

$cfg['ShowBrowseComments'] boolean
$cfg['ShowPropertyComments'] boolean

By setting the corresponding variable to TRUE you can enable the display of column comments in Browse or Property display. In browse mode, the comments are shown inside the header. In property mode, comments are displayed using a CSS-formatted dashed-line below the name of the field. The comment is shown as a tool-tip for that field.

$cfg['SQLQuery']['Edit'] boolean

Whether to display an edit link to change a query in any SQL Query box.

$cfg['SQLQuery']['Explain'] boolean

Whether to display a link to explain a SELECT query in any SQL Query box.

$cfg['SQLQuery']['ShowAsPHP'] boolean

Whether to display a link to wrap a query in PHP code in any SQL Query box.

$cfg['SQLQuery']['Validate'] boolean

Whether to display a link to validate a query in any SQL Query box. See also $cfg_SQLValidator.

$cfg['SQLQuery']['Refresh'] boolean

Whether to display a link to refresh a query in any SQL Query box.

$cfg['UploadDir'] string

The name of the directory where SQL files have been uploaded by other means than phpMyAdmin (for example, ftp). Those files are available under a drop-down box when you click the database or table name, then the Import tab. 

If you want different directory for each user, %u will be replaced with username.

Please note that the file names must have the suffix ".sql" (or ".sql.bz2" or ".sql.gz" if support for compressed formats is enabled).

This feature is useful when your file is too big to be uploaded via HTTP, or when file uploads are disabled in PHP.

Please note that if PHP is running in safe mode, this directory must be owned by the same user as the owner of the phpMyAdmin scripts. 

See also FAQ 1.16 for alternatives.

$cfg['SaveDir'] string

The name of the directory where dumps can be saved.

If you want different directory for each user, %u will be replaced with username.

Please note that the directory must exist and has to be writable for the user running webserver.

Please note that if PHP is running in safe mode, this directory must be owned by the same user as the owner of the phpMyAdmin scripts.

$cfg['TempDir'] string

The name of the directory where temporary files can be stored. 

This is needed for native MS Excel export, see FAQ 6.23 and to work around limitations of open_basedir for uploaded files, seeFAQ 1.11. 

If the directory where phpMyAdmin is installed is subject to an open_basedir restriction, you need to create a temporary directory in some directory accessible by the web server. However for security reasons, this directory should be outside the tree published by webserver. If you cannot avoid having this directory published by webserver, place at least an emptyindex.html file there, so that directory listing is not possible. 

This directory should have as strict permissions as possible as the only user required to access this directory is the one who runs the webserver. If you have root privileges, simply make this user owner of this directory and make it accessible only by it: 

chown www-data:www-data tmpchmod 700 tmp

If you cannot change owner of the directory, you can achieve a similar setup using ACL:

chmod 700 tmpsetfacl -m "g:www-data:rwx" tmpsetfacl -d -m "g:www-data:rwx" tmp

If neither of above works for you, you can still make the directory chmod 777, but it might impose risk of other users on system reading and writing data in this directory.

$cfg['Export'] array

In this array are defined default parameters for export, names of items are similar to texts seen on export page, so you can easily identify what they mean.

$cfg['Import'] array

In this array are defined default parameters for import, names of items are similar to texts seen on import page, so you can easily identify what they mean.

$cfg['RepeatCells'] integer

Repeat the headers every X cells, or 0 to deactivate.

$cfg['EditInWindow'] boolean
$cfg['QueryWindowWidth'] integer
$cfg['QueryWindowHeight'] integer
$cfg['QueryHistoryDB'] boolean
$cfg['QueryWindowDefTab'] string
$cfg['QueryHistoryMax'] integer

All those variables affect the query window feature. A SQL link or icon is always displayed on the left panel. If JavaScript is enabled in your browser, a click on this opens a distinct query window, which is a direct interface to enter SQL queries. Otherwise, the right panel changes to display a query box.

The size of this query window can be customized with $cfg['QueryWindowWidth'] and $cfg['QueryWindowHeight'] - both integers for the size in pixels. Note that normally, those parameters will be modified in layout.inc.php for the theme you are using.

If $cfg['EditInWindow'] is set to true, a click on [Edit] from the results page (in the "Showing Rows" section) opens the query window and puts the current query inside it. If set to false, clicking on the link puts the SQL query in the right panel's query box. 

The usage of the JavaScript query window is recommended if you have a JavaScript enabled browser. Basic functions are used to exchange quite a few variables, so most 4th generation browsers should be capable to use that feature. It currently is only tested with Internet Explorer 6 and Mozilla 1.x. 

If $cfg['QueryHistoryDB'] is set to TRUE, all your Queries are logged to a table, which has to be created by you (see$cfg['Servers'][$i]['history']). If set to FALSE, all your queries will be appended to the form, but only as long as your window is opened they remain saved. 

When using the JavaScript based query window, it will always get updated when you click on a new table/db to browse and will focus if you click on "Edit SQL" after using a query. You can suppress updating the query window by checking the box "Do not overwrite this query from outside the window" below the query textarea. Then you can browse tables/databases in the background without losing the contents of the textarea, so this is especially useful when composing a query with tables you first have to look in. The checkbox will get automatically checked whenever you change the contents of the textarea. Please uncheck the button whenever you definitely want the query window to get updated even though you have made alterations. 

If $cfg['QueryHistoryDB'] is set to TRUE you can specify the amount of saved history items using $cfg['QueryHistoryMax']. 

The query window also has a custom tabbed look to group the features. Using the variable $cfg['QueryWindowDefTab'] you can specify the default tab to be used when opening the query window. It can be set to either 'sql', 'files', 'history' or 'full'.

$cfg['BrowseMIME'] boolean

Enable MIME-transformations.

$cfg['MaxExactCount'] integer

For InnoDB tables, determines for how large tables phpMyAdmin should get the exact row count using SELECT COUNT. If the approximate row count as returned by SHOW TABLE STATUS is smaller than this value, SELECT COUNT will be used, otherwise the approximate count will be used.

$cfg['MaxExactCountViews'] integer

For VIEWs, since obtaining the exact count could have an impact on performance, this value is the maximum to be displayed, using a SELECT COUNT ... LIMIT. The default value of 0 bypasses any row counting.

$cfg['WYSIWYG-PDF'] boolean

Utilizes a WYSIWYG editing control to easily place elements of a PDF page. By clicking on the button 'toggle scratchboard' on the page where you edit x/y coordinates of those elements you can activate a scratchboard where all your elements are placed. By clicking on an element, you can move them around in the pre-defined area and the x/y coordinates will get updated dynamically. Likewise, when entering a new position directly into the input field, the new position in the scratchboard changes after your cursor leaves the input field.
You have to click on the 'OK'-button below the tables to save the new positions. If you want to place a new element, first add it to the table of elements and then you can drag the new element around.
By changing the paper size and the orientation you can change the size of the scratchboard as well. You can do so by just changing the dropdown field below, and the scratchboard will resize automatically, without interfering with the current placement of the elements.
If ever an element gets out of range you can either enlarge the paper size or click on the 'reset' button to place all elements below each other.
NOTE: You have to use a recent browser like IE6 or Mozilla to get this control to work. The basic Drag&Drop script functionality was kindly borrowed from www.youngpup.net and is underlying so specific license.

$cfg['NaturalOrder'] boolean

Sorts database and table names according to natural order (for example, t1, t2, t10). Currently implemented in the left panel (Light mode) and in Database view, for the table list.

$cfg['InitialSlidersState'] string

If set to 'closed', the visual sliders are initially in a closed state. A value of 'open' does the reverse. To completely disable all visual sliders, use 'disabled'.

$cfg['TitleTable'] string

$cfg['DefaultQueryTable'] string
$cfg['DefaultQueryDatabase'] string

Default queries that will be displayed in query boxes when user didn't specify any. Use %d for database name, %t for table name and %f for a comma separated list of field names. Note that %t and %f are only applicable to $cfg['DefaultQueryTable'].

$cfg['SQP']['fmtType'] string [html|none]

The main use of the new SQL Parser is to pretty-print SQL queries. By default we use HTML to format the query, but you can disable this by setting this variable to 'none'.

$cfg['SQP']['fmtInd'] float
$cfg['SQP']['fmtIndUnit'] string [em|px|pt|ex]

For the pretty-printing of SQL queries, under some cases the part of a query inside a bracket is indented. By changing$cfg['SQP']['fmtInd'] you can change the amount of this indent. 
Related in purpose is $cfg['SQP']['fmtIndUnit'] which specifies the units of the indent amount that you specified. This is used via stylesheets.

$cfg['SQP']['fmtColor'] array of string tuples

This array is used to define the colours for each type of element of the pretty-printed SQL queries. The tuple format is
class => [HTML colour code | empty string]
If you specify an empty string for the color of a class, it is ignored in creating the stylesheet. You should not alter the class names, only the colour strings.

For help in setting up your system to use the service, see the FAQ 6.14.

$cfg['SQLValidator']['username'] string
$cfg['SQLValidator']['password'] string

The SOAP service allows you to log in with anonymous and any password, so we use those by default. Instead, if you have an account with them, you can put your login details here, and it will be used in place of the anonymous login.

You may need to increase the maximum execution time for this to complete successfully.Profiling was removed from the code for version 2.9.0 due to licensing issues.

$cfg['DBG']['profile']['threshold'] float (units in milliseconds)

DEVELOPERS ONLY!
When profiling data is displayed, this variable controls the threshold of display for any profiling data, based on the average time each time has taken. If it is over the threshold it is displayed, otherwise it is not displayed. This takes a value in milliseconds. In most cases you don't need to edit this.
