Choosing databases and hosts for PHP

Post by manoman »

I am settin up a database driven web project for a client. I have had success setting up php pages with mySQL on a unix-based hosting service. So far, I have used myPHPadmin to upload data to the database tables.

But for future use, I would like to be able to make a more seamless interface for the client, ideally one in which I could use FileMaker Pro as my front end. There do not seem to be any OBDC drivers for mySQL for FileMaker. There are some for MS SQL which may work. However, it seems that the hosting service does not offer any sort of control panel type adminstration for MS SQL databases. So... I'm fishing for suggestions...

My goal is to have a little more control of the database without having to go through myPHPadmin, ie, through a brower.

Thoughts?
