How to install phpMyAdmin on Windows

phpMyAdmin is a free and open source administration tool for managing MySQL and MariaDB databases. It provides an easy-to-use web interface that allows you to manage your databases, tables and data. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing phpMyAdmin on Windows.

Step 1: Download phpMyAdmin
The first step is to download the latest version of phpMyAdmin from the official website. Choose the version compatible with your operating system.

Step 2: Extract the Files
Once the download is complete, extract the contents of the zip file to the /"htdocs/" folder in your XAMPP installation directory. This folder is usually located in /"C://xampp//htdocs/".

Step 3: Rename the folder
The name of the extracted folder may contain the version number of phpMyAdmin, so it's a good idea to rename it to something simpler, such as /"phpmyadmin/". This will make it easier to access in your web browser.

Step 4: Configure phpMyAdmin
Next, open the /"config.sample.inc.php/" file in the phpMyAdmin folder with a text editor, such as Notepad. Next, make a copy of the file and rename it to /"config.inc.php/". Open the file /"config.inc.php/" and find the line that starts with /"cfg['Servers'][i]['auth_type']/". Change the value of /"cookie/" to /"config/
