Updating phpMyAdmin

I'm trying to learn PHP and MySQL and to that end have installed Zend Server on my Mac. I've managed to install phpMyAdmin version 4.0.5.4. I got it as a zipped package from the Zend web site. The newest version of phpMyAdmin is 4.2.6 though. I'd like to update to this newest version so that I'm working with the latest version. If I download version 4.2 from phpMyAdmin.net though, Zend says it's not a valid package when I try to update to it. I haven't been able to find a 4.2 package though. Does one exist?

What are some good alternatives to Reddit? (Social Bookmarking sites...)

Hi, I start to wonder nowadays whether I'm missing something that we don't get to see on Reddit that we'd get to find on other social bookmarking sites. Maybe Reddit's users don't pay much attention to something valuable that another social bookmarking site does. Maybe Reddit's policies don't allow something that turns out to be useful that another site does allow.

Also, I hope to be able to comment and participate as part of a community at whatever other social bookmarking sites there are.

When you suggest them, can you also cite their traffic rankings compared to Reddit? Thanks. --Shultz the Editor (talk) 01:52, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
