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: **Security fix: phpMyAdmin 4.8.3 is released** The
phpMyAdmin team is pleased to announce the release of phpMyAdmin version 4.8.2.
Among other bug fixes, this contains a security fix for an issue that can be
exploited when importing files. A flaw was discovered with how warning messages
are displayed while importing a file. This attack requires a specially-crafted
file but can allow an attacker to trick the user in to executing a cross-site
scripting (XSS) attack. We recommend updating immediately to mitigate this
attack. In addition to the security fixes, this release also includes these bug
fixes and more as part of our regular release cycle: * An error where a
database is named 0 * Fix for NULL as default not being shown * Fix for
recent tables list * Fix for slow performance with table filtering * Two-
factor authentication (2FA) fails if the GD PHP library is missing * Event
scheduler toggle does not work * ERR_BLOCKED_BY_XSS_AUDITOR error when
exporting a table * PHP 7.3 warning: "continue" in "switch" is
equal to
"break" And several more. Complete notes are in the ChangeLog file included
with this release.
