I'm trying to grasp the concept of it. It's a pretty novice question, but I'm new to working with databases.

Basically you can build a frontend for phpmyadmin in php, so you can easily modify it through a phpmyadmin?

Thanks for your help.

Also: I hear phpmyadmin is pretty easy to use, do you agree?

Yes, sorry for the confusion. I just don't know much about MySQL besides the basics of what it can do.

phpmyadmin is one of the easiest things to use for MySQL. I use it daily. And creating Databases isn't that hard it's just like writing in broken english and periods become ";" or sentences begin with { [ ( etc.

Does anybody know any good tutorials for phpmyadmin, or should I just mess around with it?

Thanks

Yeah, I'll probably just play around with it.

I'm wanting to learn more about building cms's and stuff...that's the main reason why I want to learn more about it. I figure it's just good to have the general knowledge for editing purposes though.

I agree with what many people here say... Phpmyadmin is a blessing. I wish there were an offline tool for manipulating backups as useful as PHPmyadmin.

You can do quite a lot with it. So don't be shy. Just make sure you play around with a backup database or non-live database until you get comfortable.

Always remember to make backups though.
