#2654 (ok 2.11.6) unsetting the whitelist during the loop
Dear developers,
When trying to install the new 2.11.5 release, I ran into problems with phpMyAdmin displaying only blank pages. After some research, I traced the problem to libraries/common.inc.php:148-170. It seems that get_defined_vars() also returns the local variables $key, $value and $variables_whitelist. These variables themselves are not in the whitelist, and consequently get unset. This seems to cause the script to never terminate.
I made a make-shift fix for own use by simply adding these three variable names to the variables_whitelist. Now my phpMyAdmin install is (finally) working!
In case it is of value, I included the output of phpinfo() on my server.
Regards,
Jeroen Vrijkorte

Good catch! Fixed for 2.11.6 (no need to add "value" to the whitelist as it's not verified in the loop).
I don't know why it did not cause problems on the majority of servers but it's a logic error nevertheless.
