PHPMYADMIN upgrade caused table structure to change

[fohanlon]

Hi All,

 

My host provider recently upgraded the phpmyadmin to 2.9.2 and mysteriously there were then problems with my website.

 

First of all, in some tables enum fields were changed. For example Paragon 1,2,3,4 got changed to Paragon 1ÿ2ÿ3ÿ4.  Replaced the , commas with y with 2 dots.

 

Also, my cart whcih uses cookies starting to act very strange.

 

Has anyone ever experienced anything like this.  Host provider cannot understand this.

 

I did spot an error when I logged into phpmyadmin that the mbstring was not installed so the host porovider fixed this and all seems to go back to normal but I would like to find out what exactly happened.

 

Many thanks,

 

Fergal.
