Hello,

I’m new to web design. I’ve put some files on a server that I ‘borrow’ from my father. I didn’t set it up myself but I know the passwords to put data in mySQL from PHP, and to put files in there.  
Now my question is, can I view the data from a database on that remote computer? I found a map which holds my database and tables. Each table has 3 files, a .frm, a .MYD and a .MYI  
This might be a really easy question, but how can I view the data inside that database?
