Does it exist any difference between MySQL and PHPMyAdmin? arent they DBMS? I really dont find the difference between these two, I read the concepts so I know they are not the same but I cant spot the differences or when should use one instead of another one. Can someone explain it to me?

MySQL is a database server. It stores data, and runs queries on it that clients send to it.

PHPMyAdmin is a database client. It provides a user interface (written as a web app) that sends queries to the database server and displays what it sends back.

The difference is rather akin to the difference between Google Chrome (although Chrome is a desktop app rather than a web app) and Apache HTTPD.

You can manage/control MySQL(Databasesystem) with PHPMyAdmin(MySQL|MariaDB, database management tool writen in php) over a web interface.
