- Credits:
- This work is based on Peter Kuppelwieser's MySQL-Webadmin. It was his idea
- to create a web-based interface to MySQL using PHP3. Although I have not
- used any of his source-code, there are some concepts I've borrowed from
- him. phpMyAdmin was created because Peter told me he wasn't going to further
- develop his (great) tool.
- Thanks go to
- - Amalesh Kempf <ak-lsml@living-source.com> who contributed the code for
- the check when dropping a table or database. He also suggested that you
- should be able to specify the primary key on tbl_create.php3. To version
- 1.1.1 he contributed the ldi_*.php3-set (Import text-files) as well as
- a bug-report. Plus many smaller improvements.
- - Jan Legenhausen <jan@nrw.net>: He made many of the changes that were
- introduced in 1.3.0 (including quite significant ones like the
- authentification). For 1.4.1 he enhanced the table-dump feature. Plus
- bug-fixes and help.
- - Marc Delisle <DelislMa@CollegeSherbrooke.qc.ca> made phpMyAdmin language-
- independent by outsourcing the strings to a separate file. He also
- contributed the French translation.
- - Alexandr Bravo <abravo@hq.admiral.ru> who contributed tbl_select.php3,
- a feature to display only some fields from a table.
- - Chris Jackson <chrisj@ctel.net> added support for MySQL functions in
- tbl_change.php3. He also added the "Query by Example" feature in 2.0.
- - Dave Walton <walton@nordicdms.com> added support for multiple servers and
- is a regular contributor for bug-fixes.
- - Gabriel Ash <ga244@is8.nyu.edu> contributed the random access features
- for 2.0.6.
- The following people have contributed minor changes, enhancements, bugfixes
- or support for a new language:
- Jim Kraai, Jordi Bruguera, Miquel Obrador, Geert Lund, Thomas Kleemann, Alexander Leidinger,
- Kiko Albiol, Daniel C. Chao, Pavel Piankov, Sascha Kettler, Joe Pruett,
- Renato Lins, Mark Kronsbein, Jannis Hermanns, G. Wieggers.
