switching between multiple database files in a directory does not work

[Former user]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 248

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have more than one database files in a directory, say a.db and b.db
2. With phpliteadmin, access database a
3. Switch to database b via "Change Database" section
4. Select a table from b (as listed in column at the left-hand side)
5. See the database selection go back to a

Database b should remain selected.

Version used: 1.9.5 on Windows.

Hey,

I cannot reproduce this.

The database-name is passed as a session parameter.
Maybe you have cookies disabled or some software /browser extension installed that
prevents phpliteadmin from writing cookies?
Or do you use phpliteadmin in multiple tabs at the same time?

Issue #242 already proposes to pass the database name as a GET parameter instead, which
probably would solve your issue as well.

Thanks for your reply. Indeed, it turns out to be a session-related issue 
(php.ini's session.save_path pointed to an unwriteable location). 
When fixed, phpliteadmin works as expected. The issue can be closed.

Ah okay, that also explains it.
Thanks for the reply.
