Oh. phpmyadmin website, there is this page: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/#faq1_31
$cfg['ProtectBinary'] boolean or string Defines whether BLOB or BINARY columns are protected from editing when browsing a table content. Valid values are: * FALSE to allow editing of all columns; * 'blob' to allow editing of all columns except BLOBS; * 'all' to disallow editing of all BINARY or BLOB columns.
Ok, so the details are how to let me edit my drops.
I made a change
$cfg['ProtectBinary'] = FALSE; $cfg['ShowBlob'] = TRUE;
and put these two as the last lines in my config.inc.php file, which, since I use UBUNTU and used auto install sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin , was in /etc/phpmyadmin/
And it worked, curious. Now I can edit my blobs ... with the restriction that phpmyadmin displays the current blob content in a "blob-view", which is a whole bunch of numbers or some nonsense.
A simple solution I found:
- write the text. Simple editing is actually not an option, but, fortunately, I did not need to edit, just add new data.
- change the parameter "function" ... I canβt remember what it was, but it was something crazy ... just "empty". The same type of empty as the function parameter, by default for other values ββ- ints, etc.

PS what
$cfg['ShowBlob'] = TRUE;
was from the given url in the question I'm attached to. The poster claims that it is not effective in phpmyadmin, but I only load it with the latest sudo-get a few months ago, so it still works. In fact, I needed to enable this value to make editing work.
