I need the ability to rename the column names, the whole function of the database that i need is to be able to rename everything except the table. Can it be done with phpmyedit or if not i know it could be done with some simple php probaly. My databasing is very basic if i could rename in phpmyedit it would have everything i need to the job.
Hope someone can help

Use phpMyAdmin to modify MySQL columns and tables. If phpMyAdmin is not installed free in your web host control panel, then your web host is not very good.

I know how to use phpmyadmin i would like a client to be able to rename the columns from either phpmyedit or from a self made html page. He will need to be able alter every name in the db quickly and phpmyadmin is to slow

You'll need to invent a method on your own. Be sure to include a method which checks hundreds of "reserved words" in MySQL and PHP so those words can't be used when renaming columns.
