All you need is phpMyAdmin. It's an open source PHP app that tightly
integrates with MySQL. If you want to limit what these users can do,
just create a MySQL account for them with restricted privileges. There
is nothing comparable that could be developed by any reasonable
programmer in a reasonable amount of time.
