PHPMyAdmin alert box - missing value in the form -

Question

For some reason while using PHPMyAdmin and attempting to save a table, even though I've entered all of the information I usually do I'm getting an alert box popping up with the content "Missing value in the form!".

Here's a screenshot of my PHPMyAdmin console (2 screens merged due to resolution):

PHPMyAdmin Create Table Modal Box

What I've tried so far:

• Changing the data types all to VARCHAR with a length of 255 (except for the deindeal_id column, which remained INT with a length of 12).
• Encasing description in "`" (bacticks), thinking it may be a reserved word of some sort.
• Adding a coalition.
• Using different table engines (InnoDB, MyISAM (the one I wanted)).

I'm really stumped as to what could be causing this issue, so any answers would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

I just encountered this.... It turns out I was forgetting to provide a name for the new table....

Answer 2

Stop & start MySQL service. You can create table.

Answer 3

You can also try USE databasename; at the top of your query. In some versions this error seem to happen even if you did select your database, USE databasename; will fix this bug in those situations.

Answer 4

It's a bug I also "met" on phpMyAdmin v.3.5.1 - Disabling Ajax (and by default I love to disable it) will do the job.

Answer 5

I just encountered this in 4.1.11. Seems to be a bug (again?). Disabling the popup and switching to the original theme resolved it somewhat for me, although you'll be without the popup which is a pain in the behind.

Switch back to Original theme:

Home > Theme: "Original"

Disable the popup:

Home > More settings > SQL queries > Disable: "Edit in window"
