I need to move my phpBB3 into another server. When I tried to export and import all the information in the fields with varchar type were converted into digits. After searching google found out that it happens because phpBB3 uses utf8_bin collation in all tables, so once you import into utf8_bin it automatically converting into binary code. But I don't want my information to store in this way, neither I want to use utf8_general collation.
How can I import correctly database of my phpBB3 into another server?
