I have a mysql database with two tables I set up myself. When I go into myphp admin there's another database which has I didn't set up, and someone is creating tables in there. My password is random characters and numbers but it looks like someone is getting in. How can I secure access to my database. I'm using php to access my database from my homemadepizza website Can anyone advise? Thanks Phil
I think the other database you are talking about is created by php my Admin automatically. Please name the database and tables here so we can tell you the real story.
It's the second time I've noticed tables being added to the 'test' database. Unfortunately I've emptied the tables but there was references to this site in one of the tables... http://www.arslandesign.com/
I'm not sure what's going on now. This morning the 'test' database has been removed from phpmyadmin. The database I set up is still there with the two tables I've added and they're intact. I've enjoyed working and experimenting with php and mysql but this is kind of putting me off developing things further
Cheers guys, I'll move on like suggested and keep studying but I'll send the host an email just out of curiosity too.
Have you given your database access to anyone else? It may be someone else is trying to get access to your Data.
