What steps can be taken to ensure that PHP and PHPMyAdmin are accessing the same database and that the correct data is being retrieved?

To ensure that PHP and PHPMyAdmin are accessing the same database and retrieving the correct data, you need to make sure that both are using the same database credentials and connection details. This includes the database host, username, password, and database name. You can create a separate PHP file with the database connection details and include it in both your PHP scripts and PHPMyAdmin configuration to ensure consistency. 

// db_connection.php
$host = 'localhost';
$username = 'your_username';
$password = 'your_password';
$database = 'your_database';

$conn = new mysqli($host, $username, $password, $database);

if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
```

In your PHP script:

```php
include 'db_connection.php';

// Query the database using $conn
```

In your PHPMyAdmin configuration:

```php
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'your_username';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'your_password';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false;
