WYSIWYG MySQL

I have read a book about PHP & MySQL and they tend to assume that you understand exactly what MySQL is.

I (think I) understand that it is a series of tables within a file and there are a series of COMMANDs which pull data in and out.

But if I am working on a large project using hard copy data, is there a WYSIWYG MySQL interface which I could use to quickly input data.

Or am I barking up the wrong tree and need to set up some php to do this? I have searched the net and this forum and I can't seem to find anything.

Many thanks :) :)

There are a lot of solutions out there but you really need to understand what a database like MySQL is.

As far as tools go, phpMyAdmin ( http://www.phpmyadmin.net/ ) is very popular in your PHP communities and I also enjoy MySQL Control Center ( http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysqlcc.html ) for GUI access. MySQL Control Center is more of a stand alone product where phpMyAdmin is web based and is dependant on the webserver running PHP.
