How can I check a freelancers work?

Post by Paulgorry »

Hi There,

Forgive my naievity but I am not a php developer. I have engaged a freelancer to build a part of a questionnaire, I have been assured work has been done on the database, but when I login using phpMyAdmin, the dashboard says there are no tables in the database. The developer has said "I think that you couldn't see it because the credentials are 'root' without a password at the moment since it is uploaded from localhost"

This is a very important client for me and I'm just worried I'm being given the run around.

Any help on this is much appreciated.

Have him email you the database schema.

If there are tables in the database you would see them, if you in fact selected the correct database.

The root user can see all databases.
