PHPMyAdmin

This forum looked a little lonely with no posts, so let me open it up with a recommendation.

I use two tools for managing MySQL databases:

The first is PHPMyAdmin. It's available on almost every hosting platform. It's web-based and works in every browser. There's no cost to use this tool.

The second tool I use is Navicat. This tool is good for MySQL administrators who need more functionality and flexibility than PHPMyAdmin offers. I use this tool to manage MySQL databases on my dedicated servers.

Happy Holiday Season, Jeremy!

You're doing all this stuff with php... how do you test your php pages (apache on your machine OR your web server OR other?)

Cheers, Jeremy, thanks as always for the help :)

Hi lucky,

it's easy to test PHP stuff on your Windows desktop if you install WAMP (http://www.wampserver.com/en/) or any other combination of Apache/MySQL/PHP. However it's about equally easy just to register some webspace at some host supporting PHP/MySQL (most do) and test it with a quick upload. Finally the most powerful solution is to run a dedicated server which you can remotely access (most people use a LAMP box here).

Happy holidays,
Sergey

If it's more than just a php echo, I wouldn't suggest doing that on shared servers. If you're trying a new script or a hack and it goes haywire, it's not nice to mess with your neighbor's traffic.

Lol perhaps.. for me it's been years since I last programmed something that would do that so I don't really care.
