<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>
phpMyAdmin can administer a whole MySQL-server (needs a super-user)
but also a single database. To accomplish the latter you'll need
a properly set up MySQL-user who can read/write only the desired
database. It's up to you to look up the appropiate part in the
MySQL manual. Currently it can:
</p>
<ul>
<li> create and drop databases
<li> create, copy, drop and alter tables
<li> delete, edit and add fields
<li> execute any SQL-statement, even batch-queries
<li> manage keys on fields
<li> load text files into tables
<li> create and read dumps of tables
<li> export data to CSV values
<li> administer multiple servers and single databases
</ul>

<h2>Installation</h2>
<p> Quick Install:
<ol>
<li> Untar or unzip the distribution (be sure to untar the subdirectories)
tar xvf phpMyAdmin_x.x.x.tar </li>
<li> Open the file config.inc.php3 in your favourite editor and change
the values for host, user and password to fit your environment.
Have a lok at Documentation.html for an explanation of all values.</li>
<li> It is recommended that you protect the directory in which
you installed phpMyAdmin (unless it's on a closed intranet),
for example with HTTP-AUTH (in a .htaccess-file). </li>
<li> Open the file <www.your-host.com>/<your-install-dir>/index.php3
in your browser. phpMyAdmin should now display a welcome screen
and your databases.</li>
</ol>
Installation notes:
<ul>
<li> Be sure to protect the phpMyAdmin-directory. By default, it is not
protected in any way! It shouldn't be readable by anyone and
especially not by search-engines. Although I've added a "nofollow"
directive on every page, there may be search-engines that don't
care about that and still follow the links on the page.
Think of AltaVista following a link named "Drop Database"
You can get an overview of Apache's authentification methods at
<a class="navigation" href="http://www.apacheweek.com/features/userauth">http://www.apacheweek.com/features/userauth</a> . Another tutorial is at
<a class="navigation" href="http://deepthought.texsci.edu/protected_dirs.html">http://deepthought.texsci.edu/protected_dirs.html</a> </li>
<li> If you don't use the extension ".php3" for your scripts, you can use
the bundled script "extchg.sh" to modify phpMyAdmin (or any other script)
to work with a different extension. Beware though, that currently changing
the extension from .html to something other won't work (it'd change all
"string".htmlspecialchars() constructs). </li>
</ul>
