- <p class="last">You need to have configured the <a class="reference internal" href="setup.html#linked-tables"><span class="std std-ref">phpMyAdmin configuration storage</span></a> to use the transformations
- feature.</p>
- </div>
- <div class="section" id="introduction">
- <span id="transformationsintro"></span><h2>Introduction<a class="headerlink" href="#introduction" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
- <p>To enable transformations, you have to set up the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">column_info</span></code>
- table and the proper directives. Please see the <a class="reference internal" href="config.html#config"><span class="std std-ref">Configuration</span></a> on how to do so.</p>
- <p>phpMyAdmin has two different types of transformations: browser display
- transformations, which affect only how the data is shown when browsing
- through phpMyAdmin; and input transformations, which affect a value
- prior to being inserted through phpMyAdmin.
- You can apply different transformations to the contents of each
- column. Each transformation has options to define how it will affect the
- stored data.</p>
- <p>Say you have a column <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">filename</span></code> which contains a filename. Normally
- you would see in phpMyAdmin only this filename. Using display transformations
- you can transform that filename into a HTML link, so you can click
- inside of the phpMyAdmin structure on the column’s link and will see
- the file displayed in a new browser window. Using transformation
- options you can also specify strings to append/prepend to a string or
- the format you want the output stored in.</p>
- <p>For a general overview of all available transformations and their
- options, you can either go to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Change</span></code> link for an existing column
- or from the dialog to create a new column, in either case there is a link
- on that column structure page for “Browser display transformation” and
- “Input transformation” which will show more information about each
- transformation that is available on your system.</p>
- <p>For a tutorial on how to effectively use transformations, see our
- <a class="reference external" href="https://www.phpmyadmin.net/docs/">Link section</a> on the
- official phpMyAdmin homepage.</p>
- </div>
- <div class="section" id="usage">
- <span id="transformationshowto"></span><h2>Usage<a class="headerlink" href="#usage" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
- <p>Go to the table structure page (reached by clicking on
- the ‘Structure’ link for a table). There click on “Change” (or the change
- icon) and there you will see the five transformation–related fields at the end of the line.
- They are called ‘<a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-media-type"><span class="xref std std-term">Media type</span></a>’, ‘Browser transformation’ and
- ‘Transformation options’.</p>
- <ul class="simple">
- <li>The field ‘<a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-media-type"><span class="xref std std-term">Media type</span></a>’ is a drop-down field. Select the <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-media-type"><span class="xref std std-term">Media type</span></a> that
- corresponds to the column’s contents. Please note that many transformations
- are inactive until a <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-media-type"><span class="xref std std-term">Media type</span></a> is selected.</li>
- <li>The field ‘Browser display transformation’ is a drop-down field. You can
- choose from a hopefully growing amount of pre-defined transformations.
- See below for information on how to build your own transformation.
- There are global transformations and mimetype-bound transformations.
- Global transformations can be used for any mimetype. They will take
- the mimetype, if necessary, into regard. Mimetype-bound
- transformations usually only operate on a certain mimetype. There are
- transformations which operate on the main mimetype (like ‘image’),
- which will most likely take the subtype into regard, and those who
- only operate on a specific subtype (like ‘image/jpeg’). You can use
- transformations on mimetypes for which the function was not defined
- for. There is no security check for you selected the right
- transformation, so take care of what the output will be like.</li>
- <li>The field ‘Browser display transformation options’ is a free-type textfield. You have
- to enter transform-function specific options here. Usually the
- transforms can operate with default options, but it is generally a
- good idea to look up the overview to see which options are necessary.
- Much like the ENUM/SET-Fields, you have to split up several options
- using the format ‘a’,’b’,’c’,…(NOTE THE MISSING BLANKS). This is
- because internally the options will be parsed as an array, leaving the
- first value the first element in the array, and so forth. If you want
- to specify a MIME character set you can define it in the
- transformation_options. You have to put that outside of the pre-
- defined options of the specific mime-transform, as the last value of
- the set. Use the format “’; charset=XXX’”. If you use a transform, for
- which you can specify 2 options and you want to append a character
- set, enter “‘first parameter’,’second parameter’,’charset=us-ascii’”.
- You can, however use the defaults for the parameters: “’‘,’‘,’charset
- =us-ascii’”. The default options can be configured using
- <span class="target" id="index-0"></span><a class="reference internal" href="config.html#cfg_DefaultTransformations"><code class="xref config config-option docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$cfg['DefaultTransformations']</span></code></a>.</li>
- <li>‘Input transformation’ is another drop-down menu that corresponds exactly
- with the instructions above for “Browser display transformation” except
- these these affect the data before insertion in to the database. These are
- most commonly used to either provide a specialized editor (for example, using
- the phpMyAdmin SQL editor interface) or selector (such as for uploading an image).
- It’s also possible to manipulate the data such as converting an IPv4 address to binary
- or parsing it through a regular expression.</li>
- <li>Finally, ‘Input transformation options’ is the equivalent of the “Browser display
- transformation options” section above and is where optional and required parameters are entered.</li>
- </ul>

- <div class="section" id="file-structure">
- <span id="transformationsfiles"></span><h2>File structure<a class="headerlink" href="#file-structure" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
- <p>All specific transformations for mimetypes are defined through class
- files in the directory <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">libraries/classes/Plugins/Transformations/</span></code>. Each of
- them extends a certain transformation abstract class declared in
- <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">libraries/classes/Plugins/Transformations/Abs</span></code>.</p>
- <p>They are stored in files to ease customization and to allow easy adding of
- new or custom transformations.</p>
- <p>Because the user cannot enter their own mimetypes, it is kept certain that
- the transformations will always work. It makes no sense to apply a
- transformation to a mimetype the transform-function doesn’t know to
- handle.</p>
- <p>There is a file called <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">libraries/classes/Plugins/Transformations.php</span></code> that provides some
- basic functions which can be included by any other transform function.</p>
- <p>The file name convention is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">[Mimetype]_[Subtype]_[Transformation</span>
- <span class="pre">Name].php</span></code>, while the abstract class that it extends has the
- name <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">[Transformation</span> <span class="pre">Name]TransformationsPlugin</span></code>. All of the
- methods that have to be implemented by a transformations plug-in are:</p>
- <ol class="arabic simple">
- <li>getMIMEType() and getMIMESubtype() in the main class;</li>
- <li>getName(), getInfo() and applyTransformation() in the abstract class
- it extends.</li>
- </ol>
- <p>The getMIMEType(), getMIMESubtype() and getName() methods return the
- name of the MIME type, MIME Subtype and transformation accordingly.
- getInfo() returns the transformation’s description and possible
- options it may receive and applyTransformation() is the method that
- does the actual work of the transformation plug-in.</p>
- <p>Please see the <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">libraries/classes/Plugins/Transformations/TEMPLATE</span></code> and
- <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">libraries/classes/Plugins/Transformations/TEMPLATE_ABSTRACT</span></code> files for adding
- your own transformation plug-in. You can also generate a new
- transformation plug-in (with or without the abstract transformation
- class), by using
- <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">scripts/transformations_generator_plugin.sh</span></code> or
- <code class="file docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">scripts/transformations_generator_main_class.sh</span></code>.</p>
- <p>The applyTransformation() method always gets passed three variables:</p>
- <ol class="arabic simple">
- <li><strong>$buffer</strong> - Contains the text inside of the column. This is the
- text, you want to transform.</li>
- <li><strong>$options</strong> - Contains any user-passed options to a transform
- function as an array.</li>
- <li><strong>$meta</strong> - Contains an object with information about your column. The
- data is drawn from the output of the <a class="reference external" href="https://www.php.net/mysql_fetch_field">mysql_fetch_field()</a> function. This means, all
- object properties described on the <a class="reference external" href="https://www.php.net/mysql_fetch_field">manual page</a> are available in this
- variable and can be used to transform a column accordingly to
- unsigned/zerofill/not_null/… properties. The $meta->mimetype
- variable contains the original <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-media-type"><span class="xref std std-term">Media type</span></a> of the column (i.e.
- ‘text/plain’, ‘image/jpeg’ etc.)</li>
- </ol>
