Original Credits of Version 2.1.0
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This work is based on Peter Kuppelwieser's MySQL-Webadmin. It was his
idea to create a web-based interface to MySQL using PHP3. Although I
have not used any of his source-code, there are some concepts I've
borrowed from him. phpMyAdmin was created because Peter told me he
wasn't going to further develop his (great) tool.

Thanks go to

* Amalesh Kempf <ak-lsml\_at\_living-source.com> who contributed the
  code for the check when dropping a table or database. He also
  suggested that you should be able to specify the primary key on
  tbl\_create.php3. To version 1.1.1 he contributed the ldi\_\*.php3-set
  (Import text-files) as well as a bug-report. Plus many smaller
  improvements.
* Jan Legenhausen <jan\_at\_nrw.net>: He made many of the changes that
  were introduced in 1.3.0 (including quite significant ones like the
  authentication). For 1.4.1 he enhanced the table-dump feature. Plus
  bug-fixes and help.
* Marc Delisle <DelislMa\_at\_CollegeSherbrooke.qc.ca> made phpMyAdmin
  language-independent by outsourcing the strings to a separate file. He
  also contributed the French translation.
* Alexandr Bravo <abravo\_at\_hq.admiral.ru> who contributed
  tbl\_select.php3, a feature to display only some columns from a table.
* Chris Jackson <chrisj\_at\_ctel.net> added support for MySQL functions
  in tbl\_change.php3. He also added the "Query by Example" feature in
  2.0.
* Dave Walton <walton\_at\_nordicdms.com> added support for multiple
  servers and is a regular contributor for bug-fixes.
* Gabriel Ash <ga244\_at\_is8.nyu.edu> contributed the random access
  features for 2.0.6.

The following people have contributed minor changes, enhancements,
bugfixes or support for a new language:

Jim Kraai, Jordi Bruguera, Miquel Obrador, Geert Lund, Thomas
Kleemann, Alexander Leidinger, Kiko Albiol, Daniel C. Chao, Pavel
Piankov, Sascha Kettler, Joe Pruett, Renato Lins, Mark Kronsbein,
Jannis Hermanns, G. Wieggers.

And thanks to everyone else who sent me email with suggestions, bug-
reports and or just some feedback.
