So I sit here with a problem.
I have full FTP access to a PHP site, but no access to the MySQL database.
This must be simple, I think - the PHP code can already see it, so let's install phpMyAdmin?
This is when a simple search on Google led me to a wonderful utility - the type I like best, i.e. small and lightweight (29 kB) - phpMiniAdmin (SourceForge)
It has all the bang and wonderful utility of phpMyAdmin, without the 11 MB footprint!
Duly filed away in my Swiss knife folder, truly a must have for remote PHP/MySQL developers.
