NEWS FLASH

When you have:

  1. a PHP-enabled Apache web server,
  2. with a working MySQL connection,
  3. already-working pages in PHP that can connect successfully to the database in question,
  4. account details for MySQL, and
  5. all the necessary privileges in MySQL and the server

you DO NOT need me to install phpMyAdmin in order to manipulate tables. Nor do you get bonus points for asking me how to connect to MySQL without phpMyAdmin. No, thank you.
