Pretty printing (syntax highlighting)
By default, phpMyAdmin parses and highlights the various elements of any MySQL statement it processes. This is controlled by $cfg['SQP']['fmtType'], which is set to'html' by default. This mode uses a specific color for each different element (a reserved word, a variable, a comment, and so on) as described in the $cfg['SQP']['fmtColor'] array located in the theme-specific layout.inc.php file.
Setting fmtType to'text' would remove all color formatting, inserting line breaks at logical points inside a MySQL statement. Finally, setting fmtType to'none' removes every kind of formatting, leaving our syntax intact.
