title: phpMyAdmin and mysql not showing the same database
body: <p>I have setup WAMP which I managed by using a tutorial and everything seems fine... I am logging into mysql as the root user with full privileges granted and I am able to create databases in mysql and view them by using SHOW DATABASES; so far so good !</p>
  
  <p>...However...
  <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/cV0sg.jpg" alt="you can see different databases, i am using same account localhost@user on both">
  When I access phpMyAdmin and go to the databases section, there are no databases which I have created in mysql, even though phpMyAdmin shows the Database server as User:root@localhost which is the same user I am accessing mysql with.</p>
  
  <p>This situation is also the same when reversed, I can create a database as the root user in phpMyAdmin but the database will not show in mysql when I am logged in as root user and use SHOW DATABASES;</p>
  
  <p>i have tried every soution available ONLINE ..
  most of them saying about </p>
  
  <p>$cfg['Servers'][$i]['hide_db'] = '';</p>
  
  <p>i have done that too ....
  but nothing seems to work....
  plzzzz help   </p>
