phpMyAdmin
September 04, 2013 02:43PM
I have now reach the section on mySQL. I'm using easyPHP on Windows 8. I want to access phpMyAdmin and instructions given on homeandlearn refers to WAMP. I then went to resource folder where I got other instructions how to access phpMyAdmin. According to it you have to go to your domain and use the account created for you. Don't understand so clearly and it also look like you have to be online Is there anyone that can assist me on how to access it.

There are 2 basic options to use phpMyAdmin -

1) Installed on your own computer -

If you use WAMP, it automatically installs phpMyAdmin as well, so it is easy to access.
(I use WAMP, so not sure about EasyPHP).

According to the EasyPHP documentation, phpMyAdmin is included in the installation, so you should have no problem accessing it.
Look here -

http://www.easyphp.org/


2) On your ISP server -

Most ISP's provide mySQL and phpMyAdmin as part of the package. How you access it varies between ISP's. Look at their help pages to find out how to access phpMyAdmin on their server.

Thanks. Problem is that I am used to Windows 7 and not 8. Navigated a bit and found it under configuration of easyPHP. Looks a bit different to the tutorial but I guess I will have to adapt.

I am practising the examples given in the reference book and the homeandlearn site. Im experiencing problems with connecting to the database. This is what I type: 


Language: PHP
<?PHP
	$user_name = "root";
	$password = "";
	$database = "addressbook";
	$server = "127.0.0.1";
 
	msql_connect($user_name, $password, $server);
	print "Connection to the server open";
?>
 
I then get the following message. [color=#3300CC]"Fatal error: Call to undefined function msql_connect() in C:\EasyPHP-5.3.3\www\test\connect.php on line 7"[/color]  What am I doing wrong.  Should the php files be in the same directory as the database files?  My PHP files in a directory called test under c:\easyPHP\www and the SQL is located at c:\easyphp\mysql\data

It should be "mysql_connect".

Your script is poorly constructed - it will report that the connection has been made even if it is unsuccessful. Add 
Language: PHP
or die("Error message");

Try using "localhost" instead of "127.0.0.1"

Is your EasyPHP server running ?

Thanks Bigron. It looks like spelling is important. Got it working after sorting out spelling

From EasyPHp FAQ -

WARNING: if you set a new password for the "root" user, you will not be able to access phpMyAdmin anymore, or you will need to re-configure phpMyAdmin: edit the "EasyPhp\phpMyAdmin\config.inc.php" file and set your new password with this line $cfgServers[1]['password'].
For Example:
$cfgServers[1]['password'] = 'mynewpassword'


You don't say what you re-installed.
If you re-installed EasyPHP, then mySql would also have been reinstalled, and the password reverted to the default password.

Are you trying to connect to an ISP, or a local EasyPHP installation ?

Are you using "localhost" ?

Need more info.

Try changing "localhost" to "127.0.0.1:3306"

If that doesn't work, post your connect.php script.

And confirm if you are trying to connect to a server, or to a local EasyPHP installation.
