Introducing phpMyAdmin - Mastering phpMyAdmin 2.11 for Effective MySQL Management - page 3

Host providers everywhere are showing their trust in phpMyAdmin (official home
page at http://www.phpmyadmin.net ) by installing it on their servers. In addition,
we can install our own copy of phpMyAdmin inside our web space, as long as
our provider respects the minimum requirements—see in Chapter 2 the System
Requirements section . The popular Cpanel (a website control application) interfaces
with phpMyAdmin.
History
The first internal version (0.9.0) was coded by Tobias Ratschiller and bears the
date 1998-09-09. He then released version 1.0.1 on 1998-10-26. The early versions
were offered on Tobias's site: http://www.phpwizard.net . (This site is no longer
associated with him.) Tobias wrote in the accompanying notes:
"This work is based on Peter Kuppelwieser's MySQL-Webadmin. It was
his idea to create a web-based interface to MySQL using PHP3. Although
I have not used any of his source-code, there are some concepts I've
borrowed from him. phpMyAdmin was created because Peter told me he
wasn't going to further develop his (great) tool."
