Research direction
Examine the phpMyAdmin export UI code, specifically the template or PHP file that renders the export options for a database. Compare with the single table export view where the data/structure/both dropdown exists. Implement a similar dropdown in the database export form, ensuring the selected option is passed to the export logic. Check if any existing comments or issues address this.
