  Well title says it basicly, i found a site with some random google'ing (not looking for it tho) and there was a poll wich, when voted, gave me the entire php script.<br>This resulted in me having the msql password / username etc, but i was wondering how to utilize this?<br><br>I have no need to go and wreck his site, i'd just like to peek around before telling him. Is there like a GUI based way to access his database or will i need to make a php/java script that just logs in to it and extracts the data ?<br><br>Thanks.

  for educational purpouses:<br><br>it depends, a mysql server, is just like a webserver, a process that runs on a computer somewhere, and can be reached by pointing a client application to an IP + port<br><br>however this IP can be on the local network, or behind a firewall .. so you need to learn where the RDBMS is located, usually the same box, and wether or not it accepts external connections.<br><br>the default port for mysql is 3306<br><br>gui's to connect to mysql servers .. phpmyadmin.<br>but the most practical way is imho with commandline tools mysql/mysqldump ...
