You upgraded PHP or PHPMyAdmin? – Conquer

yes I upgrade phpmyadmin from 5.4 to 8.0 and my php version is 8.1 when I change php version from 8.1 to 7.4 errors were disappeared. – Kerrin

There is no phpmyadmin 8.0 or even 5.4. The latest version currently is 5.2 (as of May 11, 2022). – Eupatorium

Answer 1

For PHP 7.3+

Edit the following file : config.inc.php. It can be located in /etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php or in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

$cfg['SendErrorReports'] = 'never';

Yes it solved the problem of the deprecation warning always showing, thanks. But the question is, is it really solve the problem, or just hiding it? – Buhl

I agree with the comment above. It hides all of the errors but it doesn't solve the issue – Averi

I agree with Muhammad's comment. I am curious as to why a developer would want to hide an error rather than fixing it to keep the application up-to-date and prevent subsequent internal errors. That seems like a clunky idea. – Bankable

The path of config.inc.php on Windows / Wamp is C:\wamp64\apps\phpmyadmin5.0.2\config.inc.php – Howlyn

Answer 2

I had the same error message on Debian 11 after switching from php7.4 to php8.1.

What solved the issue was upgrading phpMyAdmin to the latest version manually.

=======Steps to followed=====

Back up phpMyAdmin

You should back up your current phpMyAdmin folder by renaming it.

 $ sudo mv /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /usr/share/phpmyadmin.bak

Create a new phpMyAdmin folder

$ sudo mkdir /usr/share/phpmyadmin/

Change to the directory

$ cd /usr/share/phpmyadmin/

Download and Extract phpMyAdmin

$ sudo wget https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/phpMyAdmin-latest-all-languages.tar.gz

Now extract

$ sudo tar xzf phpMyAdmin-*-all-languages.tar.gz
Once extracted, list folder

$ ls

You should see a new folder phpMyAdmin-*-all-languages

We want to move the contents of this folder to /usr/share/phpmyadmin

$ sudo mv phpMyAdmin-*-all-languages/* /usr/share/phpmyadmin

Make a copy of /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.sample.inc.php

$ sudo cp /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.sample.inc.php /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php

Now edit the config.inc.php

$ sudo nano config.inc.php

$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'Zbwen/BEAFv:HTbqOROrqakJ;KUMIpV:'; /* YOU MUST FILL IN THIS FOR COOKIE AUTH! */

$ Ctrl+x /* to save the file */

Go to your site/phpmyadmin check all error is cleared.

=================================================

YOU MAY ENCOUNTER THIS ERROR MESSAGE ON PHPMYADMIN /INDEX.PHP

IT MAY SAY SOMETHING LIKE:

The $cfg['TempDir'] (/usr/share/phpmyadmin/tmp) is not accessible. phpMyAdmin is not able to cache templates and will be slow because of this.

===SOLUTION==

$ sudo mkdir -p /var/tmp/phpMyAdmin

$ sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/tmp/phpMyAdmin

$ sudo chmod -R 700 /var/tmp/phpMyAdmin

Edit the config.inc.php again

$ sudo nano config.inc.php

add or replace this line

$cfg['TempDir'] = '/var/tmp/phpMyAdmin';

Cleanup -- You can now delete the tar.gz file and the empty folder.

$ sudo rm -rf /usr/share/phpmyadmin/phpMyAdmin-latest-all-languages.tar.gz

And if you’re certain your new phpMyAdmin install is working correctly you can delete the backup folder.

$ sudo rm -rf /usr/share/phpmyadmin.bak

I updated my php version and made some changes in php.ini file which resolved the problem – Kerrin

That is good to know, but what changes do you make? – Bankable

I had the Deprication Notices on Ubuntu Server 20 after switching from php7.4 to php8.2. What solved the issue was upgrading phpMyAdmin to the latest version manually as described above. Thank you. – Fennel

Thanks @ShapCyber! Thanks for putting in so much work to make a clean instructional. I followed every step and everything works great now! – Pursuance

Works fine in Ubuntu. Had same issue after upgrading php from 7.4 to 8.3. – Sweetsop

Answer 3

From now you can turn off errors following these two steps:

1. Open /usr/share/phpmyadmin/themes/pmahomme/layout.inc.php
2. Add after <?php error_reporting(0);

Please note that this is not official information!

This files does not exists on phpmyadmin installed from packages on Debian 11. – Daube

Answer 4

I had the same issue after upgrading my PHP Version to 8.1 using MAMP's phpmyadmin 5. I could only find out a way to get rid of it thanks to this here:

• Go to your phpmyadmin, even if it repeatedly logs deprecation warnings into your page
• Select the Preferences Tab in your phpmyadmin interface (you have to be in your main phpmyadmin page for this tab to show up, and not have any table / db selected)
• Select Functions and scroll down to Error Reports and select Never send and click on OK to save it. done!

I though that this should technically correspond to this:

$cfg['SendErrorReports'] = 'never';

But as it seems, there are additional steps involved. Anyway, working now!

Here I faced the issue because some of my databases' version is mismatched with current MySQL version in that case this solution might not be idle. – Kerrin

Answer 5

I just used the standard update function from MAMP PRO itself. Menu MAMP PRO > Check for Updates… There i Run Install on the update phpMyAdmin5 5.1.0 -> 5.2.0. That worked for me.

Answer 6

1. Open your xampp control panel.

2. Go to apache > config > phpMyAdmin(config.inc.php) file.

3. Just add this line in below of all code in this file...

     $cfg['SendErrorReports'] = 'never';

Answer 7

if you use a wamp server then you can put down the downloaded files from [https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/] of PHPMyAdmin new version on apps folder. then go to alias folder and you have to change in phpmyadmin.conf

Alias /phpmyadmin "d:/wamp64/apps/phpmyadmin5.2.0/" //change it here

<Directory "d:/wamp64/apps/phpmyadmin5.2.0/"> //change it here

then Save and Restart wamp services

Answer 8

open : your_ip_or_domain/phpmyadmin/prefs_forms.php?form=Features

Then put the value of the option (Send error reports) on the option (Never send error reports).
