#4295 Problem when session expires while importing file

[azurIt]

Importing of a large database can takes long enough to reach LoginCookieValidity. When this happens, phpMyAdmin is stucked on 'file processing' in 'import_status.php' here:

while ($_SESSION['Import_message']['message'] == null) {
usleep(250000); // 0.25 sec
}

As session was already expired, this ends in infinite loop. I suggest:
1.) Prevent session expiration while uploading/importing a file (better solution).
OR
2.) Check if session wasn't expired inside that loop and logout a user.

does this bug still needs a patch or has it been patched ?

[Isaac Bennetch]

It's open and not assigned to anyone, so as near as I can tell yes, it should still need to be fixed.

Of course, if you wish to try to fix it, you should first reproduce it to make sure you actually accomplish the proper fix :)

if this bug is fixed? or the patch is required.?
if yes, then please also tell me the approx size of "large" database to reproduce this bug?

Unfortunately i don't have time for this now so i suggest to close it and i will reopen it later if the bug is still present. Thank you.
