History
Tobias Ratschiller started to work on a PHP3-based web front end to MySQL in 1998, inspired by Peter Kuppelwieser's MySQL-Webadmin. When he gave up the project in 2000 because of lack of time, phpMyAdmin had already become one of the most popular PHP applications and MySQL administration tools with a large community of users and contributors.
In order to coordinate the growing number of patches, a group of three developers, Olivier Müller, Marc Delisle and Loïc Chapeaux, registered The phpMyAdmin Project at SourceForge and took over the development in 2001.
