How are you 'altering' the tables? Are you doing this through phpMyAdmin? If so, at what URL?

Shouldn't this be something you change in the admin of the script though?

The phpmyadmin issue I believe is due to a version issue because of the outdated version of PHP we haven't been able to update due to users requiring zend optimizer.

i always altered details through the database.
even if the version is outdated (as it was last year and you haven't updated it) why isn't it working ???? better yet, why did it work once today and then it stopped working ???? Something isn't right here.

Well if it worked once today and then didn't work, then it isn't a version issue. Sorry I must have missed that.

I'm looking in to this further.

any ideas why this is happening ????

[sarettah]

It is a phpmyadmin issue probably, not a mysql issue, although it might be being caused by an unrecognized missing key in an index or something like that.

tbl_replace.php is part of phpmyadmin. So, somewhere in phpmyadmin you are ending up at someplace where goto does not exist but it is included in the form call to tbl_change which usually calls tbl_replace.

Oh, and I know that that really does not help you a bit ;p

When in doubt, run check tables against your various tables. It will tell you if there are any index issues.

Might also be a server update they did for another client, we had issues a few years back with a hosting company updating php related functions for one of their clients on the same shared server and it screwed up a bunch of scripts we were running.

Is it because they know you're using a fake nick for the 2938298th time?

it could also be a damaged file in phpmyadmin, you could try to reinstall it.

as someone said above, it appears to be trying to go to a goto that is not present, its possible the entire script is not there or is damaged in some way.

what i dont get is it worked today 1 time. when i tried to change thread count numbers on another forum the missing parameter response page popped up. it worked with firefox then minutes later it didnt work with firefox. if anything was missing or damaged why would it work 1 time ????

although rare, files do randomly corrupt for many strange reasons.

are you sure no one else was dicking with your server at the time? phpmyadmin has a number of security issues, maybe someone was attempting to exploit the serveR? host was making changes to phpmyadmin? etc.

phpmyadmin has nothing to do with mysql its just a 3rd party php admin for managing mysql graphically.

reinstall phpmyadmin and try again.

mysql -u username -p databasename

I've done some further testing, I've updated/reinstalled software, the highest I can while stuck with the PHP 5.2, and it's still happening. It's an issue with phpmyadmin unfortunately.

If you'd like, I can arrange for you to be moved to a newer server.
