[TriLUG] phpMyAdmin: repeating commands

[Stan B. Briggs]

all,

on one of my phpMyAdmin installations all of the (SQL) commands that i run
get run twice. and it's not just repeating the commands it's composing the
commands with the repetition embedded.

example:
the command
ALTER TABLE `Customer` ADD `Notes` VARCHAR( 64 ) NOT NULL
shows up as (and attempts to execute as)
ALTER TABLE `Customer` ADD `Notes` VARCHAR( 64 ) NOT NULL , ADD `Notes`
VARCHAR( 64 ) NOT NULL

note that it's not the ALTER command repeated in it's entirety the command
is composed like it really is trying to do two ADDs with the ALTER
command.

has anyone seen anything like this before or, better yet, have any idea
how to fix it? google and the phpMyAdmin site had nothing even remotely
close to this.

thanks,
stan
