Exporting a database in phpmyadmin fails (localhost)

Question

When I try to export a database sql file in phpmyadmin it fails. I get the following error: \"Your output is incomplete, due to a low execution time limit on PHP level\" .

Answer 1

PhpMyAdmin is a php application. (I should change my username to Obviousman.)

It's running out of time exporting your table.

You need to change a line in the file called php.ini.

If you're running WAMP on your own Windows box, you might find it at a path like C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin. But you have to look for it.

If you're using a hosting service, use their knowledge base or call their support and ask how to change php.ini.

look for the line called max_execution_time, and make its value bigger.
