help exporting table as SQL file?

[jarv]

I am getting an error to check my values  but I am using the right username, password, table name and host name.

 

Can anyone help me here?

$mysqlDatabaseName ='drupal';
$mysqlUserName ='drupal';
$mysqlPassword ='xxx';
$mysqlHostName ='localhost';
$mysqlExportPath ='content_type_vacancy.sql';

$command='mysqldump --opt -h' .$mysqlHostName .' -u' .$mysqlUserName .' -p' .$mysqlPassword .' ' .$mysqlDatabaseName .' content_type_vacancy > ~/' .$mysqlExportPath;

exec($command,$output=array(),$worked);
switch($worked){
case 0:
echo 'Database <b>' .$mysqlDatabaseName .'</b> successfully exported to <b>~/' .$mysqlExportPath .'</b>';
break;
case 1:
echo 'There was a warning during the export of <b>' .$mysqlDatabaseName .'</b> to <b>~/' .$mysqlExportPath .'</b>';
break;
case 2:
echo 'There was an error during export. Please check your values:<br/><br/><table><tr><td>MySQL Database Name:</td><td><b>' .$mysqlDatabaseName .'</b></td></tr><tr><td>MySQL User Name:</td><td><b>' .$mysqlUserName .'</b></td></tr><tr><td>MySQL Password:</td><td><b>NOTSHOWN</b></td></tr><tr><td>MySQL Host Name:</td><td><b>' .$mysqlHostName .'</b></td></tr></table>';
break;
}

Perhaps if you turn on error checking you might get something that could help? Also - in that error message code consider echoing the actual command to ensure it is correct.

 

Also - the syntax I just checked shows a space after each switch. Plus you are including a last parm that seems to be repetitive.
