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. http://wamp.corephp.co.uk/ Greetings Roel On 8/8/07, Jarrett Meyer <jmtmeyer@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > PHPMyAdmin is a MySQL administrator interface written in PHP.
