Is there a best way to turn off phpmyadmin token checking?

Question

I'm the only person working on my dev machine (home computer), which has a Ubuntu operating system. I am not concerned with security that would be essential on a production server. I hate the token mismatch error that appears if I leave phpmyadmin sitting for too long. So I hacked libraries/common.inc.php on lines 483 through 486 to force phpmyadmin to always think that the token matched.

$token_mismatch = false;
/*if (PMA_isValid($_REQUEST['token'])) {
    $token_mismatch = ($_SESSION[' PMA_token '] != $_REQUEST['token']);
}*/

Is this the best way to take care of this issue, and will this potentially screw something else up?

Answer 1

Disable token:

libraries/common.inc.php

/*
$token_mismatch = true;
if (PMA_isValid($_REQUEST['token'])) {
    $token_mismatch = ($_SESSION[' PMA_token '] != $_REQUEST['token']);
}
*/
$token_mismatch = false;
