Summary:
phpMyAdmin is intended to handle the adminstration of MySQL over the WWW.
Currently it can:
- create and drop databases
- create, copy, drop and alter tables
- delete, edit and add fields
- execute any SQL-statement, even batch-queries
- manage keys on fields
- load text files into tables
- create and read dumps of tables
- export and import CSV data
- administer one single database

Download:
You can get the newest version at http://www.phpwizard.net/projects/phpMyAdmin/.

Credits:
This work is based on Peter Kuppelwieser's MySQL-Webadmin. It was his idea
to create a web-based interface to MySQL using PHP3. Although I have not
used any of his source-code, there are some concepts I've borrowed from
him. phpMyAdmin was created because Peter told me he wasn't going to further
develop his (great) tool.
Thanks go to
- Amalesh Kempf <ak-lsml@living-source.com> who contributed the code for
the check when dropping a table or database. He also suggested that you
should be able to specify the primary key on tbl_create.php3. To version
1.1.1 he contributed the ldi_*.php3-set (Import text-files) as well as
a bug-report. Plus many smaller improvements.
- Jan Legenhausen <jan@nrw.net>: He made many of the changes that were
introduced in 1.3.0 (including quite significant ones like the
authentification). For 1.4.1 he enhanced the table-dump feature. Plus
bug-fixes and help.
- Marc Delisle <DelislMa@CollegeSherbrooke.qc.ca> made phpMyAdmin language-
independent by outsourcing the strings to a separate file. He also
contributed the French translation.
- Alexandr Bravo <abravo@hq.admiral.ru> who contributed tbl_select.php3,
a feature to display only some fields from a table.
- Chris Jackson <chrisj@ctel.net> added support for MySQL functions in
tbl_change.php3. He also added the "Query by Example" feature in 2.0.
- Dave Walton <walton@nordicdms.com> added support for multiple servers and
is a regular contributor for bug-fixes.
- Gabriel Ash <ga244@is8.nyu.edu> contributed the random access features
for 2.0.6.
The following people have contributed minor changes, enhancements, bugfixes
or support for a new language:
Jim Kraai, Jordi Bruguera, Miquel Obrador, Geert Lund, Thomas Kleemann, Alexander Leidinger,
Kiko Albiol, Daniel C. Chao, Pavel Piankov, Sascha Kettler, Joe Pruett,
Renato Lins, Mark Kronsbein, Jannis Hermanns, G. Wieggers.
