Support for 3.1.x has ended.

Some troubleshooting steps:
Have you told which database to use in phpmyadmin?
If you did that it shouldn't be any problem.
Have you tried sql format?
I never had problem with exporting/importing databases in sql format.
Have you used one-click installer for phpBB installation?
One-Click installer often put a piece of code in htacess that sets you back to use php 5 instead of 7.

And yeah, you should considering upgrading to 3.2.4.

EDIT - it appears that php 7.2 was indeed the culprit, downgraded to 5.6 and everything seems to be working like a charm! thanks again for all of your help!
Maybe I missed somethng but I can't find which version of phpBB you are using. The problems related to php 7.2 should be non-existent after upgrading to 3.2(.4)

It was a problem for me last week.

For those who will run into the problem, got to your Cpanel and change your php version to 5.6.
Save it.
Go to your forum root folder and delete php7.ini that was automatically placed there .. Put your old php54.ini back in that folder. (there is no php5.4 to select in the recent Cpanel. So pick 5.6 but still use php54.ini).
Problem solved.
