Wamp/XAMPP and phpmyadmin

I recently came across wamp and XAMPP and was tempted to use them. They
seemed really easy to use and the installation is simple and easy. What
really amazed me is phpmyadmin. But i am yet to start with phpmyadmin. I
am still learning php. If i start using phpmyadmin i'd probably never
learn to use command line. So, my question is how healthy is it to use
phpmyadmin for a n00b?

RE: Wamp/XAMPP and phpmyadmin

First off, phpmyadmin is built into Xampp... I'm not sure about Wamp...

I use Xampp as my environment in learning php, and I don't really use
phpmyadmin all that much at the moment, though I have done a few things
in there. Its really just up to you... phpmyadmin doesn't allow you to
do most of what you can do writing php... you will defiantly still have
to write php code to really make anything happen... but it is more of an
admin program to allow the administration of your environment to be a
little easier.

Thanks!

PHPMyAdmin is a MySQL administrator interface written in PHP. It can help y=
ou build queries that you cut/paste into existing PHP code. For what you ac=
tually do with that query, you'll need to write some real PHP. PHPMyAdmin w=
ill not hold you back in terms of learning PHP. It will eliminate the need =
for you to learn command-line MySQL.=0A =0A--=0AJarrett M. T. Meyer=0Ahttp:=

As Jarrett says, PHPMyAdmin will not hold you back in terms of PHP, but
instead facilitates the learning process of MySQL. I use it all the time, as
administering a website is (most of the time) quicker then command-line
MySQL.

However, if you really want to learn a lot on php, you'll eventually want to
set up your own server, and not do it from a bundle. Only then, you'll start
to realise a lot (like the settings in php.ini). There is a great guide
around for installing the php/mysql/apache combo on windows.

if you plan on using phpmyadmin, make sure you upgrade with the latest
fixes.

my servers keep getting hammered by script kiddies trying to launch
phpmyadmin and using the various bugs in it to hack my server.

i just removed it from my install of XAMPP. i like XAMPP since it has
SSL compiled into apache...

for windows and mysql administering, i use the freebie version of SQLYOG
from www.sqlyog.com
