# PHPMyAdmin – importing MySQL error

 * I’m trying to move a WP blog from one webserver to another.
 * I’ve exported my DB via PHPMyAdmin, using default settings, and when I try to
   import it to the other webhost, I get the following error:
 * `#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds
   to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '‹' at line 1`
 * Can anyone help?

 * Export this way: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database#Using_phpMyAdmin](http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database#Using_phpMyAdmin)
 * Sure the MySQL versions are the same?

 * Thank you! I’ll give it a go.
 * Upon checking there are some differences:
 * source mysql – 5.1.55
    dest mysql – 5.0.91
 * source php – 5.2.17
    dest php – 5.2.9
 * Is there a way round this if the export method you suggest doesn’t work?
