Well,
I'm working on my website now and something else just popped up, i've installed PHPmyAdmin and i've filled out "config" with my username and password. To acess PHPmyadmin i have to go to www.blahblah.myhost.com/phpmyadmin/
I am wondering if anyone can access my mySQL database now and edit tables?
And if so, then how can i make it secure?
I've looked through the FAQ, but i couldnt find an answer.
Thanks again

The way that is most secure in this situation is using .htaccess files to handle it, and yes, phpMyAdmin can be used by anyone who knows the address...
To read how to set up an .htaccess password protection scheme, the place to read it is:
