RE: [PHP] Alternative to phpMyAdmin

i'm sorry but i seem to be completely missing your point. mysql accepts incoming requests on a specific socket (can't remember which one, but postgresql is 5432) and therefore where you are is not an issue. i administer databases via a modem connection that sit on servers somewhere in the states. i install mysql and php in windows and then develop at home, then i update the live db throught mysql-front.
