MySQL Export – How to Export Structure and Data from MySQL 5.1.73 to 5.6.17

MySQLphpmyadmin

Are there any known issues to export structure and data from MySQL 5.1.73 to 5.6.17? Nothing fancy and to export-import user will use phpMyAdmin.

Thanks

Should be binary compatible, but I would ALWAYS use mysqldump. See here (options not always optimal) and here (phpMyAdmin can't handle large dbs) for why. See here and here for how. And let's not forget the docco!
