phpMyEdit – Mysql table viewer, editor and php code generator.

As a developer, whenever you want to write the php code to get the data from the MySQL database, sometimes it becomes tiresome and time taking. And what if you had to do it dynamically.

If your inner thing does not allow you not to do it, do it with all the care you can take. May be a backup and most importantly &#8221;DONT USE ROOT LOGIN IF U DONT HAVE REASON TO USE IT&#8221;. BTW there are couple of more articles on these kind of advices but the best way to save yourself is to educate yourself on the outcome of the command you are executing.
