This is not a security problem, but a slippery-slope thing. phpinfo() is not a place to just display random statistics from any module that might feel like doing so. There are already stats functions within PHP that can be used for this as documented on http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqlnd.stats.php IE: mysqli_get_client_stats() mysqli_get_connection_stats() mysqli_get_cache_stats() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-12-22 18:30:37] jakoch at web dot de Description: ------------ hello, this is a change request: i think that it is not appropriate, that the mysqlnd extension exposes a list of 160 statistical items when calling the phpinfo() function. i'm suggesting a) to remove the client statistics from the phpinfo screen, because phpinfo's focus is a bit more on configuration directives and not so much on statistics; every other extension could expose it there, too; it's way too long to scroll through that list of stats-items b) to make these statistics available via an mysqlnd_stats() or mysqlnd_info() function. anyway, you got my intention :) best, jens ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60594&edit=1
