Not sure what you are asking.

Are you able to make your own web interface pages in PHP? You should be able to, as long as you have the proper privileges for the things you wish to do.

Are you interested in ADMINISTERING mySQL on a server? If so, you could try to find an old computer to install Linux/Apache/PHP/mySQL on, and mess around with it at home.

I bet you'd like an application I use called MySQL Front. It works wonderfully and is probably the best GUI app I've found for easily administering mySQL.

The only down side I can think of with it is that if you are connecting to a remote server the link isn't encrypted. For that I use a linux box to setup a SSH tunnel that does port forwarding over the SSH connection to my remote database servers. That way everything is secure.
