MySQL's Localhost connection
When I try to open my php file located in my PC (e.g., localhost/kaz/indexpage.php, I get the following warning message. The message says that my connection "is not private."
MySQL database character set and collation
The default character set is latin1_swedish_ci . I will use utf8_general_ci instead since it seems to be the most up-to-date character set and the article I found (see reference) suggests we do. However, I have never encountered an issue just using latin1_swedish_ci for Japanese materials. My questions are:
- Can I change it back to other options later?
- What does "ci" mean?
- There are many types of utf8 in the option. Is utf8_general_ci really the good option?

PHP and MySQL: how to insert data into a MySQL table
MySQL commands
Drop tables.
DROP TABLE `wp_commentmeta`, `wp_comments`, `wp_links`, `wp_options`, `wp_postmeta`, `wp_posts`, `wp_terms`, `wp_term_relationships`, `wp_term_taxonomy`, `wp_usermeta`, `wp_users`;
Not seeing a MySQL table I just created
I created a new blank MySQL database. I couldn't see it when accessing it via. phpMyAdmin. I only saw two old MySQL databases.
It turns out that the new one was associated with a different user name. I had to log out of the screen first by clicking on one of the icons on the left-upper side of the phpMyAdmin window. After the log-out, I logged in with the right user name and the password, when I was able to see all MySQL databases I needed to see.
Each phpMyAdmin session is specific to each of the users I created.
