Mysql backup using PHP

Recommended Posts

I am sorry if someone else has come up with this topic earlier. (please let me know if that was solved)

 

I want to take a backup of my mysql db using php, and I went searching for some solutions in google, but yet I couldn't find a right one, so could anyone post me the code or the link which really works for you!

 

thank you.

Is there a particular reason you need php to do this? It can be done simply enough from the command line.

 

mysqldump nameofdb | gzip > nameofdb.bkp.sql.gz

 

If you need it to be done via php you can use exec to execute this same command.

Thank you for the reply,

I wrote the code and it throws me an error saying "mysqldump is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

 

 

The reason is I am going to port this code into my drupal module.

 

 

Thank you.
