If you have phpMyAdmin, simple put the name in the box Create new Database. If you havenīt phpMyAdmin, download it from http://phpwizard.net/projects/phpMyAdmin/

Your provider has the obligation of offers you support about this. Anyway, in order to work, phpMyAdmin needs  a properly set up MySQL-user who can read/write (your provider gives you one). Open your config.inc.php3 in your favourite editor and change the values for host, user and password to fit your environment. Then put the all files in some folder in your root folder and that's it. If is a shared server, perhaps it shows you all the databases in the server, but the only one you can modify it's yours. Ok, I have the same problem with my provider

What about setting up PHPAdmin on local host-
can you give me some directions?
Thanx

Is the same way as put it in other server. Just put all the stuff in a folder inside your local httdocs folder, change the values of the config.inc.php3 (seting locally, if nobody's else acces your computer, I use a root user without password, don't do the same in a Web enviroment!!) and that's it
