How to upgrade PHPMyAdmin

How to upgrade PHPMyAdmin under XAMPP:

Stop MySql
Rename the current phpmyadmin directory.
Go to https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/ to download the latest version. I downloaded the zip file since I’m using Windows platform.
Extract zip file, copy all directories to (xampp install path)/phpmyadmin
Copy config.inc.php from your original phpmyadmin directory to the new directory.
Start MySql.
Go to localhost/phpmyadmin
You may get a warning regarding “Access denied for pma@localhost“. Go to SQL, run the following commands:
```
GRANT USAGE ON mysql.* TO 'pma'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'whatever password you want to set';
```
Open config.inc.php in a text editor

Find the following lines:

/* User for advanced features */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pma';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = '';
