What program is better for PHP and creating a networking website- Joomla or Phpmyadmin?


You can’t compare the two, they are designed to do different jobs. Joomla is a content management system, which makes it easy to change the content of your website without needing to know much in the way of technical stuff. PHPMyAdmin is a tool to administer a MySQL database. It can be useful for general administrative tasks, but you can’t use it to make a website.

I haven’t used Joomla myself, so I can’t really advise as to its suitability. I can say that there’s plenty of other content management systems as well as Joomla, many are available free (as is Joomla). For a networking site, it might be worth trying out Drupal (http://drupal.org), as this includes a number of "community" type features already built in.

  2. I do my database management in phpMyAdmin and my PHP writing in EditPlus. Joomla adds too much code that I don’t need.
