phpMyAdmin: Create DB on Export = Suck

...slow to upgrade software, especially when everything works perfectly. However, I upgraded phpMyAdmin and now when I try to simply export a localhost db and upload to my host using cPanel, I get some error about the sql file trying to create a db by the same name as the export.
The only workaround I could figure out is to comment out the following in the .../export.php file:
if (! $export_plugin->exportDBCreate($db)) { break; }
Is there a simple toggle or setting somewhere to stop the dump from wanting to create a new db?
I'm good to go removing those lines, but I really hate hacking the core...just thought I would see if anyone else ran into this issue.

Is this going to cPanel Backups and downloading the database or is this going to phpMyAdmin, choosing the database, then going to the Export tab?
I think the two are different in that the Backups section one is set to "restore" a backup and the "Export" one is set to export the data so it can be loaded into another database.

Hey, Ben...long time, not since our early JomSocial days.
The later. I develop a localhost site, then go through phpMyAdmin -> Select the DB -> Export -> Save as .sql just as I have always done. Now, however, when I go to import it into my host's phpMyAdmin into a db I have already created, it fires the error that it can't create the database that the exported dump is trying to create...just doesn't importlike it used to. (if that makes any sense)
The export feature now seems to be adding a 'create db by the same name' command to the dump...and only way I can get it to work is to comment out this feature in the export.php file of phpMyAdmin.

That's definitely different than what I've experienced. I don't think its an issue to comment out those lines to prevent the database from being created, but I do understand wanting to have it just work.
I'll ask around and see if anyone else knows.

Hi Terp,
At the risk of teaching granny to suck eggs, have you checked the advanced options in the export?
Should be set like the image below...

I suspect if you check yours there may be a tick in that first option.
If this resolves your problem then please edit your first post in this thread by adding [SOLVED] at the start of the title and click on the icon and select the 'tick' icon. This lets the moderators know that it can be moved to the solved section.
Thanks for your cooperation
