Hi folks,
I am still struggling with this problem. PHP Admin acknowledges the import of a file and says it was successful. It does not do anything though. The database does not get updated. Nothing changes. I can export, but I can not import. Anybody know why? I tried different files to import. Nothing works. My host gave me the suggestion of switching to Fire Fox. Unfortunately, I don't think it works very well with speech. Besides, I really don't think that is the problem as it worked before.

Regards

Can you send me the file you are traing to import?
Cheers, Gerhard

Did you try posting this message at the PHPmyAdmin support? I think it has very little to do with Drupal, unless the database files are corrupt. but in that case PHPMyAdmin would present you with errors.

an earlier suggestion to use mysql in command line mode seemed to me to be a good one. Even with a capable screen reader, I think it might be hard to manage a database that way.
I also think it might be faster, as you should spend much less time navigating the screen.
to access mysql directly, just open a terminal window and log in to mysql.

I have looked at my local PHPmyadmin and noticed there is quite some cross-frame javascript. this means that the javascript needs to "talk" to its neighbouring or parent frame(s) in order to perform its actions; I can imagine a screen reader does not support cross frame javascripting.
A mysql commandline is really not that hard. And servers with SSH access (so you can actually use the commandline on the server) are getting very cheap, nowadays.

Ber's cross-frame Javascript challenge to screen reading is a sound insight (no matter what may or may not have worked in the past). Client-side and hosted server-side environments are such 'slippery slopes' when continual updates/upgrades are involved. So it is sometimes good not to lose too much sleep when something that did work, doesn't anymore.
Secure telnet and command line access is certainly another sound recommendation, especially in a scree reader situation. But if you really do not want to, or your hosting company does not support this approach, there are alternatives to phpMyAdmin.
In the event that you are using the Windows operating system, sometimes a client-side application will work where phpMyAdmin will not. The best app we have found is available in a free version as well as in a $49 non-commercial and $99 commercial version and it is a super product. Check out:
http://www.webyog.com/sqlyog/index2.php
SQLyog has a bunch of cool features that are comparable to phpMyAdmin but in a local application format.
The one caveat for using SQLyog database synchronization is that the current version will skip tables without primary keys. A number of Drupal tables do not have primary keys, so this can effect your database synchronization. The simple work-around is to add an auto-increment primary key to the PK-less Drupal tables. The SQLyog folks are planning to fix this limitation in an upcoming release.
Database synchronization can be very helpful in situations where you have a local intranet development site and a public Internet site.
