"MySQL server has gone away" php admin error, importing large csv file

[chopficaro]

thanks to your advice here i had successfully uploaded a csv file into a mysql database about a week ago in phpmyadmin with no errors, on my wamp server that seems to be working almost perfectly

but the file has just gone from 1000 lines to 3000 lines, and ive tried it again and i got the error

MySQL server has gone away

in phpmyadmin on my attempt to import it

i looked the error up and some guy says it usually means the server has timed out, but i dont believe this because i get the error very quickly on the import

does anyone have another theory about what this error might mean, or a solution?

thanks
