How to create a database using XAMPP and PhpMyAdmin
How to create a database using XAMPP and PhpMyAdmin When you work on a website that is either hosted or local on your computer, you sometimes need a database for it. Back in the day you would need to know SQL and how to run these commands at some kind of prompt. Nowadays we have phpMyAdmin, a graphical user interface for SQL. You can click, enter text boxes, and after a while you will create a database with tables, columns, user rights etc. To use phpMyAdmin, you must either install host software on your computer, such as XAMPP, MAMP, LAMP or WAMP. Or you can get a web host that already has it installed on it. In these software packages "AMP" stands for MySQL (Database), Apache (Web Server), and PHP.
