PHPMyAdmin is a GUI program, written in PHP, used to manage the structure and data in databases. The program provides an easy alternative to command based code for creating/altering/deleting databases and tables, inserting/deleting/updating data and many other actions that can be performed on your MySQL databases.
Cloud 9 allows and facilitiates the use of PHPMyAdmin through an installation script that they provide. To install PHPMyAdmin on your workspace, use the following steps:
Start MySQL using mysql-ctl start
Install PHPMyAdmin using phpmyadmin-ctl install
This process need only be completed once, and PHPMyAdmin will be permanently installed in your workspace. You will still be able to control your databases from the command prompt. Your PHPMyAdmin application will be accessible at https://workspace-username.c9.io/phpmyadmin.
