Connect to a local MySQL database from a remote computer using phpMyAdmin

I'm a newbie.. So, please forgive me if it's a simple question :)

I'm developing a system to get some specific data and store it to a database using C#. I have almost finished the system.

I'm using a MySql database running locally on my machine. I need this database to be accessed remotely so that my employer can view the data. He told me to create a phpMyAdmin interface for the database, but I don't have experience with this.

I need the solution to be free, please.

Thanks in advance.

phpMyAdmin is free. You just have to download and install it on the machine with MySql. You will also need a WAMP stack (PHP web server hosting, such as the free WampServer package) to execute the phpMyAdmin website, and open the ports in your router to allow viewing the webpage remotely. Also there might be configuration settings in phpMyAdmin to allow remote access, but all these things have been done many times before and you should be able to find lots of help by googling.
