MySQL Workbench is pretty great, but if you want PHPMyAdmin you do not need to pollute your local env with Apache and PHP if you use docker. All the dependencies will be inside the container, which can be removed or upgraded with one command.
##install the mysql & phpmyadmin
docker run --name=mysql5 -eMYSQL_USER=iamgroot -eMYSQL_PASSWORD=a -d mysql/mysql-server:5.7 &&\
docker run --name phpmyadmin5 -d--link mysql5:db -p 8080:80 phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin
