#2723 (ok 2.11.8) Import/export fails because of Mac-files
I downloaded PhpMyAdmin on a Mac and put up the files on my webserver. After that, I got some problems with importing and exporting file. This may happen in other pages as well, but so far I just know of this.
The first this was that some text appears in the import/export site when I want to select what to export. The text looks like this:
----
Mac OS X 2?? ATTRH?U*??J?Jcom.apple.quarantine0000;48013329;Safari;95774F79-5506-4F3E-BE79-F25DBC1166C0|com.apple.Safari This resource fork intentionally left blank ??
----
If I pressed "Go" to export a database to a file, I got a PHP error that a header has already been sent by "../libraries/export/._csv.php".
I found out that the Mac OS creates a new file for each file in every folder starting with "._[filename]" (a hidden file in the UNIX system).
The file contained the text like in the export/import page.
So it imported all the files in the “..libraries/export/” folder, and got a error because the text from the "._" file was included first.
A possible solution would be that files starting with "._" should not be included.

By the way. When I deleted all the "._" files in all folders, everyting worked fine again.

Is the webserver running on a Mac, or did you download phpMyAdmin to the Mac, uncompress, and then upload to your (non-Mac) webserver?

I downloaded phpMyAdmin on a Mac, and uploaded it to a Windows server running Apache.

Fixed in subversion, thanks for reporting.
