If so, are you using mysqlnd or libmysqli-client?

I span up test slave container and started replicating to it and disabled my production slave. The error didn't present here either via the test script or in phpMyAdmin. Looking here (https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/system-variable-differences-between-mariadb-100-and-mysql-56/) it would seem MariaDB doesn't provide a server_uuid function. Should the mysqli extension be expected to handle is difference? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-03-27 22:20:03] kelvin dot middleton at gmail dot com Shot in the dark from my perspective but when I access mysql via the cli and ask it to show slave hosts; it returns only 3 out of the 4 shown data points i.e. its missing a value for the column slave uuid. Could it be this missing data that the mysqli error is referring to? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-03-27 22:15:42] kelvin dot middleton at gmail dot com I can't technically challenge but am happy to test as instructed to confirm.

Issue raised their concluded the problem likely resided in PHP somewhere (https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/issues/13117). Was using stock php package from ubuntu ppa (ver 7.0.15-0ubuntu0.16.04.4) so I raised a launchpad bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php7.0/+bug/1675117) which progressed to providing me with a ppa to test php 7.0.17. Testing still has the same errors when using the test script. Test script: --------------- Script is included in my bug submission here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php7.0/+bug/1675117 Actual result: -------------- Two errors return, excerpt below... kelvin@xxx-server:~$ php php_test.php PHP Warning: mysqli_fetch_array(): Malformed server packet.
