If you upgraded to Ubuntu Saucy Salamander, your phpMyAdmin won’t probably work more.
To get working your phpMyAdmin back, just execute the following commands:
sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/phpmyadmin.conf sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
The reason why it doesn’t work more in Ubuntu Saucy Salamander is indicated on that webpage: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin#line-40.
If you cannot see anymore menus in Eclipse after installing/upgrading to Ubuntu Saucy 13.10, you can use the environment variable UBUNTU_MENUPROXY before launching Eclipse.
You have to set it to an empty value to indicate you want to use the classic menu of Eclipse and not the one integrated to Ubuntu Unity.
For example, in your eclipse.desktop, do the following:
[Desktop Entry] name=Eclipse Type=Application Icon=[path to Eclipse icon] Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= [Path to Eclipse executable]
The white space, right after UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=, is important.
You can also set the environment variable in a terminal and launch Eclipse from this terminal.

Adding to the launcher an application in last versions of Ubuntu is really easy if you can find it in your applications.
But how to do it if you downloaded some specific application, not fully integrated to Unity?
The solution is simple, create a new file in your ~/.local/share/applications folder with an extension .desktop. Then copy the following content inside:
[Desktop Entry] # Name of the application Name=Eclipse # The path of the application to launch Exec=/home/user/Applications/Eclipse/eclipse # An icon for the application, optional Icon=/home/user/Applications/Eclipse/eclipse.xpm # The type of the application Type=Application # Categories for the application, optional Categories=Utility;Application;
Change the content to match your application installation (I took Eclipse like example), save the file and you should now find your application in the list of applications. You just have to drag and drop it to your launchers bar.
You can get more details in the Ubuntu documentation : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles. You could find some useful options to customize your launcher on that page.
I recently implemented a YUI uploader for an application developed with CakePHP 1,3. I based me on the solution proposed in the Bakery: Ability to select and upload multiple files at once – under 5 mins..
As explained in the article SWFUpload and cakePHP, a trick is required to avoid losing the current session when you add a Flash uploader to your application.
The solution proposed in the Bakery comes with a component to solve this problem but it is useless. Below comes the rewritten component keeping correctly the current session:
<?php
class YuiUploaderComponent extends Object {
/**
* Restore session from POST fields if possible.
*
* This is required because flash plugin uses a different
* session (id and user agent) from the application one.
*
* @param Object &$controller pointer to calling controller
*/
public function initialize(&$controller) {
if (!empty($_POST[Configure::read('Session.cookie')])) {
//Restore session for our application and not session used by Flash plugin.
$controller->Session->id($_POST[Configure::read('Session.cookie')]);
//Required if application is configured to check session user agent.
if (Configure::read('Session.checkAgent')) {
$controller->Session->write('Config.userAgent', $_POST['userAgent']);
}
}
}
}
?>
