Wish: url parameter to set initial current database

[Former user]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 68

I have several databases in a folder and have set $directory to scan that folder.

I would like be to be able to start phpliteadmin.php with on of these databases as
current.

``` This doesn't seem like a worthwhile feature. Why can't you just select the database from the drop down menu? It takes like 5 seconds. I guess if you know the path of the database, we can have a global variable whose value is the path of the default database you want loaded upon opening phpLiteAdmin. Is this what you want? ```

``` On my webserver I have three different applications each with their own database (in the same folder)

When I am logged in as administrator in one of the applications, I would like to add a link to administer the database for the database of that specific application. A global variable would not really help.

If $_SESSION[COOKIENAME."currentDB"] would store the databasename (as sugegsted in issue#67) then the parameter switchdb might already be doing what I am looking for. ```

``` I see what you mean. This is a good idea. If you are able to make the necessary changes to allow this, send me the updated code so I can include it in the next version. ```

``` Sorry, I only have limited knowledge of PHP. Only just enough to read and understand other people's code. Keep up the good work though. ```

I might have a look at this along with issue #67 soon.

Fixed issue #67 in a way that fixes this issue for free. The name of the GET parameter
is "switchdb". You give the path to the DB.
The db you specify must be in $databases, so it must either be in the folder you specify
to scan or manually specified. This is for security reasons.

You can try the latest version from SVN to test it:
