phpmyadmin looks to be a very useful and powerful tool. As stated in my first post, my experience with php is negligible so I am hesitant to try and install it for security reasons and fear I may screw it up big time.
It is norally standard available with your site admin panel (eg cPanel, Plesk, ...) and yes it is very powerful and you can screw up everything, but there is also a backup and restore function.
For security, install it in a non obvious directory name, disable directory listing and don't make ever a link to it or remove it after use.
