title: phpmyadmin: why Export does not save to specified SaveDir?
body: <p>With mysql 5.7 and phpmyadmin 4.8 (and php 7.2) under macOS 10.14...</p>
  
  <p>My config.inc.php includes:</p>
  
  <pre><code> $cfg['SaveDir'] = '/Users/me/Databases/mysql/saves';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When from phpmyadmin I Export a database, I have checked option:</p>
  
  <pre><code> Save on server in the directory /Users/me/Databases/mysql/saves/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And that directory has permissions (shown by ls -ld /Users/me/Databases/mysql/saves):</p>
  
  <pre><code> drwxr-xr-x  2 _mysql  _mysql
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Nonetheless, when I do the export, it saves the .sql file to</p>
  
  <pre><code> /Users/me/Downloads
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What's wrong?</p>
