phpMyAdmin is an open source tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Internet. Currently it can create and drop databases, create/drop/alter tables, delete/edit/add fields, execute any SQL statement, manage users and permissions, and manage keys on fields.

History

Tobias Ratschiller, then an IT consultant and later founder of the software company [http://www.maguma.com/ Maguma] , started to work on a PHP-based web front-end to MySQL in 1998, inspired by Peter Kuppelwieser's MySQL-Webadmin. He gave up the project (and phpAdsNew, of which he was also the original author) in 2000 because of lack of time.

By that time, phpMyAdmin had already become one of the most popular PHP applications and MySQL administration tools, with a large community of users and contributors. It is also included in many Linux distributions. In order to coordinate the growing number of patches, a group of three developers, Olivier Müller, Marc Delisle and Loïc Chapeaux, registered "The phpMyAdmin Project" at SourceForge.net and took over the development in 2001.

Current status

The software, which is currently available in 54 different languages ( [http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/translators.html languages list] ), is still being maintained by "The phpMyAdmin Project" under Olivier Müller, Marc Delisle, Alexander M. Turek, Michal Čihař and Garvin Hicking.

Another very similar tool, phpPgAdmin, provides similar functionality for PostgreSQL. It originally started as a fork of phpMyAdmin, but is now a completely different code base.

There is a tool for managing Microsoft SQL Server, called [http://www.phpmsadmin.org/ phpMSAdmin] . Though it borrows design principles from phpMyAdmin, it was written entirely from scratch and includes no code from phpMyAdmin.

There is a similar lightweight tool for managing MySQL databases called phpMinAdmin, which has all the most important features of phpMyAdmin, but consists of only one php file.
