Dynamic Good Guys DB editor and php7

[uselessinfoguru]

I'm having issues getting the Database Editor created by William to work with php7... i don't know where the error is, but am assuming it's a backward compatibility issue? Anyone else run into this issue?

as a workaround, since i'm hosting a website on the save server, I simply have ports 80 and 81 open, and manage the whitelisted ips through yast firewall, and use phpMyAdmin for a DB editor, but I don't like doing that for security reasons, even with .htaccess, I'd rather not have a DB user with a password accessible at all, so that phpMyAdmin is unusable, and a realize this can be done through whitelisted ips and ssh access, but I really like the dbeditor.php file that was created, as opposed to CLI input and even more so than phpMyAdmin, which I feel is just too bulky for a simple DB editor.

Also need to update my sig, will tomorrow, running single server now off newest iso, latest update, needed leap 42.3 for php7

found this.. https://sourceforge.net/p/phpmysqlezedit/bugs/14/

1/2 an answer there?

We've not yet upgraded phpmysqlezedit (no time!) to our standardized mysqli functionality. But:

Vicidial has implemented a mysql to mysqli function in many pages. Also, you can (in many cases) swap out mysql for mysqli with minor changes to the options.

Note that "not having a root password" does not block use of phpMyAdmin, just the access to the root user. Cron (and any other user) can still access phpMyAdmin if properly configured.
