Since I'm using PHP 4.2.3 phpMyAdmin (http://www.phpmyadmin.net) does not work properly anymore. To me it seems as if string routines would be broken. As an example I have two errormessages generated from phpMyAdmin:

Creating a simple table with ID as auto_increment:

--
CREATE TABLE `atest` (

`ID` INT NULL _INCREMENT,
PRIMARY KEY ( `ID` ) 
) 

MySQL meldet: 


You have an error in your SQL syntax near '_INCREMENT, PRIMARY KEY (`ID`))' at line 1
--

It seems as if this PHP version would kill the "auto" in front of "_increment". Of course, then MySQL produces an error.

Second example: If I change a value (DATE), I get the following error:

--
UPDATE `termine` SET `datum` = '-09-23' WHERE `ID` = \'42\' LIMIT 1; 

MySQL meldet: 


You have an error in your SQL syntax near '\'42\' LIMIT 1' at line 1
--

There is one ' too much (changing MagicQuotes did not help anything)

I do not thing that this is a problem of phpMyAdmin because I just recompiled PHP 4.2.2 with exactly the same configure options on the same system (2 days difference, so no new libraries etc) and everything works just perfect.

I do not include a backtrace because PHP does not crash at all. The system continues to run, the page gets finished and I can continue to work with PHP.
