@ -1605,12 +1605,15 @@ stored a bookmark, it is related to the database you run the query on.
You can now access a bookmark dropdown on each page, the query box
appears on for that database.
Since phpMyAdmin 2.5.0 you are also able to store variables for the bookmarks.
Just use the string ``/*[VARIABLE]*/`` anywhere in your query. Everything
which is put into the *value* input box on the query box page will replace the
string ``/*[VARIABLE]*/`` in your stored query. Just be aware of that you
HAVE to create a valid query, otherwise your query won't be even able to be
stored in the database.
You can also have, inside the query, a placeholder for a variable.
This is done by inserting into the query a SQL comment between ``/*`` and
``*/``. Inside the comment, the special string ``[VARIABLE]`` is used.
Be aware that the whole query minus the SQL comment must be
valid by itself, otherwise you won't be able to store it as a bookmark.
When you execute the bookmark, everything typed into the *value*
input box on the query box page will replace the string ``/*[VARIABLE]*/`` in
your stored query.
Also remember, that everything else inside the ``/*[VARIABLE]*/`` string for
your query will remain the way it is, but will be stripped of the ``/**/``
