[Nestor Florez]

Hans,

I actually was using $nestor_user and $nestor_pwd to avoid collision
and I did a grep on this, before I used them to avoid collisions

Thanks again,

Nestor :-)

Ahh, I blurred out what version you were dealing with :)

Just as an FYI, though, you should take care using older versions, especially with newer versions of MySQL.  I've seen old versions of phpmyadmin do fun things, even with old versions of MySQL.

You're probably having name collisions, or worse, register_global problems.  Try using variable names that aren't so common.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']          = $yankees_user;     // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']      = $yankees_pwd;      // MySQL password


Of course those names might cause problems too :)
