So I installed WAMP [http://www.wampserver.com/en/](http://www.wampserver.com/en/) on my computer and can use PHP now. I used the preinstalled phpMyAdmin to create a database, but it never told me what’s its name was and what user/password I use to connect to it through a PHP script. Where do I find out this stuff? Through the mySQL terminal?
