Summary : Handle the administration of MySQL over the World Wide Web
Description :
phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of
MySQL over the World Wide Web. Most frequently used operations are supported
by the user interface (managing databases, tables, fields, relations, indexes,
users, permissions), while you still have the ability to directly execute any
SQL statement.
Features include an intuitive web interface, support for most MySQL features
(browse and drop databases, tables, views, fields and indexes, create, copy,
drop, rename and alter databases, tables, fields and indexes, maintenance
server, databases and tables, with proposals on server configuration, execute,
edit and bookmark any SQL-statement, even batch-queries, manage MySQL users
and privileges, manage stored procedures and triggers), import data from CSV
and SQL, export data to various formats: CSV, SQL, XML, PDF, OpenDocument Text
and Spreadsheet, Word, Excel, LATEX and others, administering multiple servers,
creating PDF graphics of your database layout, creating complex queries using
Query-by-example (QBE), searching globally in a database or a subset of it,
transforming stored data into any format using a set of predefined functions,
like displaying BLOB-data as image or download-link and much more...

Update Information:
Upstream announcement: The phpMyAdmin team is pleased to announce the release
of **phpMyAdmin version 4.8.2**. Among other bug fixes, this contains an
important security update and it is highly recommended that all users upgrade
immediately. The urgent vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to
exploit a phpMyAdmin feature to show and potentially execute files on the
server. PHP open_basedir restrictions mitigate the effect of this flaw. For
further details, see the PMASA announcement . A second flaw was also fixed
allowing an attacker to use a specially crafted database name to trick a user in
to executing a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack in the Designer feature . In
addition to the security fixes, this release also includes these bug fixes as
part of our regular release cycle: * WHERE 0 clause causes a fatal error * Fix
missing "INDEX" icon
