I would like to push sensor data from the raspberry pi to localhost phpmyadmin. I understand that I can install the mysql and phpmyadmin on the raspberry pi itself. But what I want is to access my local machine's database in phpmyadmin from the raspberry pi. Would it be possible?
Well, from what I understand, you'd like to save the sensor data arriving in your Raspberry Pi to a database and access it from another machine. What I suggest is, install a mysql db instance and phpmyadmin in your Raspberry Pi and you can access phpmyadmin from another machine in the network by using the RPi's ip address.
Hope this is what you wanted to do.
