Hey All,

I think I messed up..

I went to PhpMyAdmin and clicked export and exported all my databases with the default options to a sql file. And I downloaded a bzip file with my sql file in it.

If I open the sql file it looks like

BZh41AY&SYò)É<91>^@B"_<80>P^Pz÷ÿúÿÿÿðÿÿßð`4^^òPÇ»w^Fç-îä»o11ãwÞ|ú^AÜ^Aëo¨ú½Ðî^Nï:.Ó§;Såñݱèó¦ô<9b>ÓÎÞe·<92>ó»7×Ú;<98>£§Nɤ)lÓFP<94>^Tå<8b>Û^T'<86>ǭܦî°:n±@÷Þ=öõôût[Àûî÷¼>D<94>}5D7¸ÏyÕ^]zâªR<90><<9c>$P@Ð^H^B50§<94>{Th&Ò<£F<9a>^L^SLF^F<99>^@¢<9a>(hh^Y^@^F<9a>^@^@Ð^@^@^BA$^R<9e><89>詵=ªm4<99>4^Y^@^OPô<9a>h^Z^@^@^Rz©(ÔÊz£ÔñA£&<8d>© ^M^@È^M^@^@^@^H<92>^P #!4ÒzL<9a><9b>Q<99>SÄ<8d>1<88><9b>@<9e><8d>C@

this makes me worried because then I deleted the database so I can't export it again and when I try to import this file into phpMyAdmin elsewhere it says there is a syntax error...

Any ideas?
