either
$tableName = 'mypet';
$backupFile = 'backup/mypet.sql';
$query = "SELECT * INTO OUTFILE '$backupFile' FROM $tableName";
$result = mysql_query($query);
or
$backupFile = $dbname . date("Y-m-d-H-i-s") . '.gz';
$command = "mysqldump --opt -h $dbhost -u $dbuser -p $dbpass $dbname | gzip > $backupFile";
system($command);
Problem
I was asked to create an export and import mysql database with it's structure and data into a .sql file using php scripting and not phpmyadmin to make the user be able to backup his data? Does anybody have an idea how to do that?? Thanks in advance
