Surprising that I couldn't cut and paste from SQuirreL-SQL to phpMyAdmin when using sprocs. But then if you think about it for a second, it makes a lot of sense -- the parser in phpMyAdmin stops at a semi-colon and, Emeril-style, BAM! It runs it.

You've got to change your delimiter.

Nth Design ยป Using phpMyAdmin to Create Stored Procedures:
1 Open phpMyadmin.
2 Select a database to work with.
3 Open the SQL tab.
4 Select all of the SQL statements between the DELIMITER statements in your stored procedure script. Do not include the DELIMITER statements!

Hereโ€™s what my example script should look like: 

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS spFoo $$

CREATE PROCEDURE spFoo ()

BEGIN

	SELECT 'Foo' FROM DUAL;

END $$

5 In the delimiter field, just below the SQL editorโ€™s text area, enter $$ as your delimiter.


So that delimiter spot is here:
