This library gives you a `phpmyadmin` command to start/stop a php webserver running phpMyAdmin in the background.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### PHAR

[](#phar)

The preferred method of installation is to use the PHAR which can be downloaded from the most recent [GitHub Release](https://github.com/zenstruck/phpmyadmin-server/releases). This method ensures you will not have any dependency conflict issue.

```
wget https://github.com/zenstruck/phpmyadmin-server/releases/latest/download/phpmyadmin.phar -O phpmyadmin && chmod +x phpmyadmin
mv phpmyadmin ~/bin # assumes ~/bin is in your PATH
```

### Composer

[](#composer)

```
composer global require zenstruck/phpmyadmin-server
```

**Note**: Ensure you have `~/.config/composer/vendor/bin` in your `PATH` to give access to the `phpmyadmin`command.

Initialization
--------------

[](#initialization)

```
phpmyadmin init
```

This command will ask you questions about your setup and download the latest version of phpMyAdmin to `~/.phpmyadmin`.

> *Note*: If you ever need to change your configuration, run `phpmyadmin init` again.

Start/Stop Server
-----------------

[](#startstop-server)

```
phpmyadmin
```

Check Status
------------

[](#check-status)

```
phpmyadmin status
```

This command exits with `0` if running and `1` if not. You can add the following in your `.bash_profile`to ensure it's always running:

```
phpmyadmin status || phpmyadmin
```

Self-Update
-----------

[](#self-update)

If installed via [PHAR](#phar), use the `self-update` command:

```
phpmyadmin self-update
```
