phpMyAdmin 2.11.0 - August 21, 2007 ===================================
A set of PHP-scripts to administrate MySQL over the Web. --------------------------------------------------------
Announcement ------------
The phpMyAdmin Project is proud to announce the immediate availability of phpMyAdmin 2.11.0, which will probably be the last series supporting PHP 4.
This version supports creating VIEWs from query results and can manage triggers, procedures and functions. It also supports MySQL 5.0.37 query profiling and has an improved interface for servers hosting thousands of databases and tables.
phpMyAdmin is a web administration tool for MySQL databases, intended to handle a whole database server as well as a single database. Over the years, it has become the most popular Web GUI for MySQL.
