Here is my phpMyAdmin:
http://jerak.gotdns.com/phpmyadmin/
If you just go there and click on a few of the links you'll see whats wrong. Try to open a database. Viewing the properties of the resulting webpages will show you for certain that something is wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance, guys...
Without more information, my guess is that something is messed up in the server config in that URL arguments aren't being passed correctly. For example, "&" might not be the delimiter.
PMA v2.2.0 is very old... try upgrading to a newer version of phpMyAdmin ?
I have tried the newest version available as well as the oldest version available... I prefer the older versions anyway, so I thought I'd just leave that one there. But both the latest and oldest versions seem to have the same problem.
As for the config,

?>Any chance you can upload a php file that has nothing but:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>and post (or PM if you don't want to give out a link) a URL to it?
Out of curiosity, can you place a .php file inside the /phpmyadmin/ directory that looks like this:
<?php
if(empty($_POST) && empty($_GET)) {
echo '<form action="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?get_test=PASS" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="post_test" value="PASS">
<input type="submit" value="Test">
</form>';
} else {
print_r($_POST);
print_r($_GET);
}
?>and post the URL to it?
Clever idea... it seems to be working fine...
At this point, I'm out of ideas. Without seeing the setup in front of me and playing around with it, I haven't the slightest clue as to what's going on.
It really looked as if phpMyAdmin wasn't retrieving the variables from the GET/POST data... so I thought perhaps there was a LIMIT directive causing Apache/whatever to not pass the GET/POST data on to PHP (I know if you're not careful in setting up PHP w/ IIS, this can happen). But if a test .php script in that same directory can work fine, this must not be the case.
Sorry... I'm out of ideas!
Thanks for your help!!!
Actually to be perfectly honest I just got it. One of the first things I tried to do when I put up phpMyAdmin was create a database. It didn't work. So now I opened up the db_create.php file, and inside was require('./grab_globals.inc.php');
So I opened that file, and here's what I saw:
<?php
/* $Id: grab_globals.inc.php,v 1.7 2001/08/15 15:48:09 loic1 Exp $ */
/**
* This library grabs the names and values of the variables sent or posted to a
* script in the '$HTTP_*_VARS' arrays and sets simple globals variables from
* them
*/
if (!defined('__LIB_GRAB_GLOBALS__')) {
define('__LIB_GRAB_GLOBALS__', 1);
if (!empty($HTTP_GET_VARS)) {
extract($HTTP_GET_VARS);
} // end if
if (!empty($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
extract($HTTP_POST_VARS);
} // end if
if (!empty($HTTP_POST_FILES)) {
while (list($name, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_FILES)) {
$$name = $value['tmp_name'];
}
} // end if
} // end __LIB_GRAB_GLOBALS__
?>Here's what it says now:
<?php
/* $Id: grab_globals.inc.php,v 1.7 2001/08/15 15:48:09 loic1 Exp $ */
/**
* This library grabs the names and values of the variables sent or posted to a

if (!defined('__LIB_GRAB_GLOBALS__')) {
define('__LIB_GRAB_GLOBALS__', 1);
if (!empty($_GET)) {
extract($_GET);
} // end if
if (!empty($_POST)) {
extract($_POST);
} // end if
if (!empty($_FILES)) {
while (list($name, $value) = each($_FILES)) {
$$name = $value['tmp_name'];
}
} // end if
} // end __LIB_GRAB_GLOBALS__
?>So thanks very much for your help!!!
This is why I had suggested using a newer version... I'm surprised they didn't work - the newer ones should be more portable and not use those deprecated $HTTPVARS variables... shrug*
Glad you got it working!
As far as I know even the latest version still uses HTTP_BLAH_VARS.. So I can see your point, that is strange! But oh well, it works now so I'm happy. 
Unfortunately now I've got to go to bed, so I haven't gotten any work done today... haha.
