Awards


phpMyAdmin has won some awards, as can be seen in the Awards section of the project's home page. First, it was awarded "Project of the Month" for December 2002 by the administrators of SourceForge. In the interview-style document we prepared to put on the SourceForge POTM page, I wrote that I was impressed by the download rate of our product, which was three per minute at that time. (Since then we have reached ten per minute on peak days.)

phpMyAdmin received 75% of the votes from the readers of both the German PHP Magazin and its international version, in the category "Best PHP Application/Tool" for 2003. This award was officially presented at the International PHP Conference held at Frankfurt in November 2003 to two members of the team. The German PHP Magazin hosted the readers choice again in 2005 and 2006; phpMyAdmin won for both years in the same category.

SourceForge.net hosted its Community Choice Awards for the first time in 2006 and phpMyAdmin won in two categories: Databases and System Administration. I represented the team at LinuxWorld, Boston in April for the awards presentation. The project also won "Best PHP Application of the Year" at the fifth Annual OS/2 World Awards. At the end of 2006, our project won a Silver Trophy at the third Trophées du Libre contest; I went to France to receive the trophy.

In 2007, at the SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards, phpMyAdmin was nominated in the "Best Tool or Utility for Developers" category, and won the "Best Tool or Utility for SysAdmins" award.
