Interface Overview
Panels and Windows
The phpMyAdmin interface is composed of various panels and windows. Each panel
has a specific function, and it's not possible to view all panels at the same time. We
will first provide a quick overview of each panel and then take a detailed look later
in this chapter.
Login Panels
The login panel that appears depends on the authentication type chosen. For the
http
type, it will take the form of our browser's HTTP pop-up screen. For the
cookie
type, the phpMyAdmin-specific login panel will be displayed. (This is covered in
Chapter 2.) By default, a
Server
choice dialog and a
Language
selector are present on
this panel.
However, if we are using the
config
authentication type, no login panel is
displayed, and the first displayed interface contains the left and right panels.
Left and Right Panels
These panels go together and are displayed during most of our working session
with phpMyAdmin. The
left panel
is our navigation guide through the databases
and tables. The
right panel
is the main working area where the data is managed and
results appear. Its exact layout depends on the choices made from the left panel and
the sequence of operations performed.
