Hi, Well, I also had the same problem and finally traced the bug down to a file called db_readdump.php3 in phpmyadmin directory. If you'r still having the problem, may be this is helpful to you too. edit db_readdump.php3 and add in the beginning of the file $db = trim($db); Then at the bottom of the code (somewhere around line no.45) you will find.. if(!empty($sql_file) && $sql_file != "none" && ereg("^php[0-9A-Za-z_.-]+$", basename($sql_file))) { $sql_query = addslashes(fread(fopen($sql_file, "r"), filesize($sql_file))); } Cut this part of code and paste it just below, the following code... $pieces = split_sql($sql_query); if (count($pieces) == 1 && !empty($pieces[0])) { $sql_query = trim($pieces[0]); include ("sql.php"); exit; } thats it, Hope this helps, Regards, Sivaprasad.
