How To Install phpMyAdmin On Windows

phpMyAdmin is a free and open-source administration tool for managing MySQL and MariaDB databases. It provides an easy-to-use web interface that allows you to manage your databases, tables, and data. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing phpMyAdmin on Windows.
Step 1: Download phpMyAdmin
The first step is to download the latest version of phpMyAdmin from the official website. Choose the version that's compatible with your operating system.
Step 2: Extract the Files
Once the download is complete, extract the contents of the zip file to the "htdocs" folder in your XAMPP installation directory. This folder is usually located at "C:\xampp\htdocs".
Step 3: Rename the Folder
The extracted folder name may contain the version number of phpMyAdmin, so it's a good idea to rename it to something simpler, such as "phpmyadmin". This will make it easier to access in your web browser.
Step 4: Configure phpMyAdmin
Next, open the "config.sample.inc.php" file in the phpMyAdmin folder with a text editor, such as Notepad. Then, make a copy of the file and rename it to "config.inc.php". Open the "config.inc.php" file and find the line that starts with "$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']". Change the value from "cookie" to "config", and add a username and password for the MySQL user that phpMyAdmin will use to access your databases. Save and close the file.
Step 5: Test the Installation
Launch your web browser and go to "localhost/phpmyadmin". If everything is working correctly, you should see the phpMyAdmin login page. Enter the username and password you specified in the "config.inc.php" file, and you should be able to access your databases and start managing them.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed phpMyAdmin on your Windows computer. Now, you can start using it to manage your MySQL and MariaDB databases.
XAMPP is a popular software package that provides a complete web development environment for Windows users. It includes Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Perl, all in one easy-to-install package. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing and configuring XAMPP on Windows 10 or Windows 11.
Step 1: Download XAMPP
The first step is to download XAMPP from the official website. Choose the version that's compatible with your operating system.
Step 2: Install XAMPP
Once the download is complete, run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions. Choose the components you want to install, and make sure to select "Apache" and "MySQL" during the installation process.
Step 3: Configure Apache and MySQL
After the installation is complete, launch XAMPP control panel and start Apache and MySQL services. Then, click on the "Config" button next to Apache and select "Apache (httpd.conf)". This will open the Apache configuration file. Search for "Listen" and change the port to 80 or any other available port. Save the changes and close the file.
Next, click on the "Config" button next to MySQL and select "my.ini". This will open the MySQL configuration file. Look for the line "bind-address" and change it to "127.0.0.1". Save the changes and close the file.
Step 4: Test the Installation
Launch your web browser and go to "localhost". If everything is working correctly, you should see the XAMPP welcome page. You can also test PHP by creating a new file with ".php" extension in the "htdocs" folder, and then accessing it through "localhost/filename.php".
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured XAMPP on your Windows 10 or Windows 11 computer. Now, you can start developing your web applications locally.

It is XAMPP installation guide. PhpMyAdmin begins @7min but there is no information how to really install it standalone (with any HTTP server and PHP).

What are the credentials to sign in to phpmyadmin, because in my laptop it is not allowing me to the home page of php without credentials

[@abukilele]

If you already have a DB the credentials are the same that you use to access mysql/mariadb. Try root as user and blank as pwd.
For php administration use the credentials that you created in the installation.
