What is PHPMyAdmin and how can it be used to manage databases and tables?
PHPMyAdmin is a free and open-source tool written in PHP that allows users to manage MySQL databases and tables through a web interface. It provides an easy way to create, edit, delete, and manipulate databases and tables, as well as run SQL queries and manage user permissions.
// Example code snippet to connect to a MySQL database using PHPMyAdmin
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "mydatabase";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
echo "Connected successfully";
