Phpmyadmin error in Ubuntu 18.04

Question

I recently installed Mariadb with PhpMyAdmin and it seems to be working fine except when I need to browse a database.

This is the error I get when browsing a column:

“Warning in ./libraries/sql.lib.php#613 count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable”

When I browse a column it does show the content but it gives me the error each time I look inside a column.

Can it be something permission based thats not setup right?

MariaDB Version: 10.4.6 Ubuntu Version: 18.04.02

Ubuntu repositories have an old phpmyadmin, not fully compatible with default PHP release (7.2 in Ubuntu 18.04 distribuiton).

To get rid of this error just install a newer phpmyadmin from https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/
