Problems with PHPIDS and phpMyAdmin

[Cojun]

Hi,

I am very impressed with PHPIDS. It seems its exactly what I searched alot of times.
But I have a question for wich I cannot find answers in google.
I installed PHPIDS and it works fine for me with loggin into File, Database and sending email reports.
But if I call phpMyAdmin on my Host and will browse throught database entries, I get blocked by PHPIDS. Now I am searching for a solution regarding this issue.
What can I do to use phpMyAdmin furthermore without blocking throught PHPIDS?

Thank you

Sincerly

Daniel

Hi Cojun, thanks for your question. I assume you are using PHPIDS via auto_prepend_file? Otherwise it wouldn't affect multiple applications on your localhost, I guess. Solution a, which I cannot recommend, is: don't do that.

I think a better way would be to just write a small condition on top of the file you're including to check if you're currently browsing through phpMyAdmin on your localhost. You can check the URL to do this.

Hi,

thank you for your answer.
I solved this by adding a regular expression in my auto_prepent_file.

if ( isset($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) && preg_match("/phpmyadmin/i",$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])) {
// Do nothing
}
else {
// Check against PHPIDS
}

With this, it works fine for me. But I am thinking about rewrite all scripts wich schould be checked against PHPIDS with a include header. So I can make sure, that only that scripts will be checked wich should be checked.

Thank you for your Help in this case
