You're welcome.
Re: backups. I prefer to do full-database backups, rather than backups of individual tables, since it's "tidier". If I needed to restore an individual table on my server, I would first restore the full-database backup to a temporary database. Then I would copy the table from the temporary database to the production database using one of these methods:
1) Backup the table from the temporary database, so that you have an .sql file containing the single table, and then restore it to the production database. This could be done either using phpMyAdmin, or if you have shell access, using the mysqldump and mysql commands.
2) Use the phpMyAdmin "Copy table to (database.table)" function to copy the table from the temporary database to the production database.
That MySQL version (3.23.55) is probably ok, although the newest 3.x one is 3.23.58. My server is running 3.23.56.
I'd recommend upgrading phpMyAdmin if possible. I use the current version 2.5.3.
