Tobias Ratschiller, then an IT consultant, started working on a PHP-based web front-end to MySQL in 1998. He gave up the project in 2000 because he had no time. In 2001, a group of three developers, Olivier Müller, Marc Delisle, and Loïc Chapeaux, registered the phpMyAdmin project at SourceForge.net and took over the development. Since 2015, the development is completely based on GitHub. phpMyAdmin is also very deeply documented in a book written by one of the developers.

As well as fixing many bugs with the newest version, the phpMyAdmin team also released version 4.9.11, which exclusively fixes the XSS vulnerability. Some highlights of the 5.2.1 update include:

  • Fixed an error when configuring 2FA without XMLWriter or Imagick.
  • Fixed Export pages not working in certain conditions.
  • Fixed password_hash function incorrectly adding single quotes to password before hashing.
  • Added utf8mb3 as an alias of utf8 on the charset description page.
  • Supported the UUID data type for MariaDB.
  • Fixed malformed downloads when using gzip compression type and Firefox browser.
  • Added spellcheck=”false” to all password fields and some text fields to avoid spell-jacking data leaks.
