I second this nomination.  phpmyadmin was better than any of the GUI's I
tried, and as an added bonus it works the same from anywhere... =)

I've been looking for a good IDE lately, but haven't found anything that
really floats my boat yet.  Eclipse (www.eclipse.org) looks promising,
but it's a bit slow (all java I think), and it doesn't have good support
for many programming languages yet (it comes with C/C++/Java tools, but
it's PHP support seems to still be in a combination of alpha and beta,
and Python support is still pre-alpha...).
