xampp phpmyadmin, Incorrect format parameter

I had the same problem recently.

I did these 3 things and it worked:

  1. Made sure the Collation of the exported database is the same as the newly created one.

  2. Made these changes in my php.ini(xampp/php/php.ini) file

    max_execution_time = 5000
    max_input_time = 5000
    memory_limit = 1000M
    post_max_size = 750M
    upload_max_filesize = 750M
    
  3. Made this change in my \phpmyadmin\libraries\config.default.php file:

change

$cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 300;

to

$cfg['ExecTimeLimit'] = 0;

(So there is no limit)


I have had the same problem that is mentioned and the solution has been to compress it in a .zip and upload it since it weighed more than 40mb which is the maximum import. This has solved the problem.


Another solution would be to compress the sql file in .zip and upload it
