What are the common pitfalls when exporting a database using phpMyAdmin and how can they be avoided?

Common pitfalls when exporting a database using phpMyAdmin include timeouts for large databases, incorrect file format selection, and incomplete data exports. To avoid these issues, make sure to increase the maximum execution time in php.ini, select the correct file format (e.g., SQL), and carefully check the export settings for any filters or limitations. 

// Increase maximum execution time in php.ini
ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); // 5 minutes

// Select the correct file format (e.g., SQL) in phpMyAdmin export settings

// Check export settings for any filters or limitations before exporting
