Can phpMyAdmin be used to manage databases that are not local?

I believe so (though I haven't tried it).

Here's an excerpt from the phpMyAdmin documentation
(http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/docs.php):

"$cfg['Servers'] array
Since version 1.4.2, phpMyAdmin supports the administration of
multiple MySQL servers. Therefore, a $cfg['Servers']-array has been
added which contains the login information for the different servers.
The first $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] contains the hostname of the first
server, the second $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] the hostname of the
second server, etc. If you have only one server to administer, simply
leave free the hostname of the other $cfg['Server']-entries."

The $cfg array they're talking about is in config.inc.php.
