Answer 1

You didn't mention which version of phpMyAdmin you're using or from where it was installed, but it seems to either be the Ubuntu packaged version 4.5.4.1 or a rather old and unsupported version from source. Either way, I believe your issue was reported (and fixed) at https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/issues/11462 -- if you're using the Ubuntu packaged version, the comments there suggest that the nijel PPA version should work better for you.

Of course, Beniamin Pantiru's accepted answer is good, too, and if you're running a production server you should reduce the number of warnings and errors displayed by PHP anyway as a standard best practice.
