How does the PHP MyAdmin login prompt work?

[Q695]

Does anyone know what the source code for the PHP MyAdmin login prompt (the pop out box) looks like?

phpmyadmin is open source and available for download, just grab and unzip it.

 

http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php

 

Be warned, it's a mess in there

I mean when the cookie expires it asks you to relogin in an in page html alert.  How are those created?

I haven't used phpMyAdmin in a long time, so I haven't seen what you're talking about however I would guess they are just using a JS based dialog, such as JQuery UI's Dialog.

 

The basic process probably goes something like:

- phpMyAdmin sends request to server via Ajax

- Server responds with authentication error

- phpMyAdmin opens login dialog

- phpMyAdmin sends login details

- When successful authentication occurs, phpMyAdmin repeats original request.

The answer is better than the Nuclear answer, thanks.
