    <b>PHP</b> <ul style="margin: 1em 1em 0px; max-width: 70em;">
      <li style="margin-top: 0.5em;">
        You need PHP 5.2.0 or newer, with&nbsp;<tt>session</tt>&nbsp;support&nbsp;and the Standard PHP Library (SPL) extension.
      </li>
      <li style="margin-top: 0.5em;">
        To support uploading of ZIP files, you need the PHP&nbsp;<tt>zip</tt>&nbsp;extension.
      </li>
      <li style="margin-top: 0.5em;">
        For proper support of multibyte strings (eg. UTF-8, which is currently default), you should install mbstring and ctype extensions.
      </li>
      <li style="margin-top: 0.5em;">
        You need GD2 support in PHP to display inline thumbnails of JPEGs ("image/jpeg: inline") with their original aspect ratio
      </li>
      <li style="margin-top: 0.5em;">
        When using the "cookie"&nbsp;authentication method, the&nbsp;<tt>mcrypt</tt>&nbsp;extension is strongly suggested for most users and is&nbsp;<b>required</b>&nbsp;for 64–bit machines. Not using mcrypt will cause phpMyAdmin to load pages significantly slower.
