#4546 signon auth with use_trans_sid results in damaged json

[Stefan Frömken]

If you use phpMyAdmin with session.use_trans_sid = 1 in php.ini and auth_type="signon" you can't fold out the list of databases in the left menu.

Error in red box:
Error in Processing Request
Error code: 200
Error text: OK

Yes...the JSON will be generated, but there will be also inserted a part for "phpMyAdmin" and the sessionId (col 136) and its quotes (") are NOT escaped. That's why the status is 200 and "OK", but the JSON itself is broken.

I think you should implement a special check for this server configuration and inform the user about it. Further I have deactivates the use of Ajax in phpMyAdmin...but that doesn't work, too.

bug #3997 Error handling in case MySQL extension is missing

We can not work with Response object before loading DBI as it uses it.

session.use_trans_sid causes PHP to incorrectly modify hrefs in AJAX requests.
