Changing phpMyAdmin to suit your needs?

Question

PHP

Good day everyone!

I have a task, I need to change the phpMyAdmin interface to fit my needs. This means not just changing the color of the buttons, but generally the layout. It is also necessary to add a couple of pages where you need to aggregate information from tables.

At first I thought that phpMyAdmin uses some kind of template engine, but I did not find anything similar. There's generally a nightmare, html is issued through echo.

One of the two, or I didn’t understand something, or phpMyAdmin is made very poorly extensible.

Can you tell me some alternative phpMyAdmin written in PHP and working with MySQL and written in a human way using the template engine and MVC ideas?

The alternative should be free, or even paid, but that could be modified.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Take Chive , open source, written in Yii, which means at least the controllers are detached from the views =)
The rest is finished according to the customer's wishes :)

Answer 2

Are you sure what exactly should be written in php? If you give clients access to the database, then yes, and I don’t think that PMA will be better, because. all hosters use it, and probably for a reason. In general, I heard about CIMyAdmin, but I didn’t use it, but I know that it is written in Codeigniter, which means that MVC is used, and the templates will be in a separate folder. But if running on a server is not needed, then I recommend using desktop solutions, it is more convenient, more functional, a large selection. Under Windows, when I was sitting, I don’t remember what I used, but this tool was mentioned on Habré more than once. And on MAC I use Navicat Premium ( screenshot d.pr / i / rLFX ) quite a handy thing, it will work on Windows too.

Try adminer 1 file practically replaces phpmyadmin, I think it's much easier to tailor it to your needs than such a giant as pma

Your problem was solved by any PHP framework that has Scaffolding on board
