Export the database from the "export" menu in PHPMyAdmin. Open the downloaded sql file with a texteditor (like notepad). Search and replace the file for all occurences of the databasename, and replace it by the new name. Save the file. Import the saved file via the "import" menu in PHPMyAdmin.

You now have your duplicated database.
