Add phpMyAdmin to Local

Hi, You can just copy the phpmyadmin folder where stays in the wampserver, and paste it to public folder presents in the local sites project. Now you can use your project’s databases like ‘SITEURL’/phpmyadmin

Adminer works pretty well after recent updates TBH, so maybe let’s stay with this for now?

Windows PHPMyAdmin install:

I installed PHPMyAdmin 5.2.0 in C:/localroot/conf/phpmyadmin directory and then symbolically linked it like so:

  1. Run PowerShell as administrator
  2. Run this command:
    New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "C:\localroot\app\public\phpmyadmin" -Target "C:\localroot\conf\phpmyadmin"

Then navigate to https://website.local/phpmyadmin

Alternatively you can just drop the phpmyadmin folder in your /public/ directory and then you don’t need to symbolic link anything.

I prefer the navigation of PHPMyAdmin. Also the Operations tab is very handy.
