As I understand, you've got a box of your own. With MySQL installed. Since
the database is on another server as the website, there is a fair chance
that you can just connect to it from your local box.

Or, if you insist on doing this through your own little php script, might
wanna try this:
$Tables = mysql_query('SHOW TABLES');
while($Table = mysql_fetch_assoc($Tables)) {
$Rows = mysql_select('SELECT * FROM '.$Table['Tables_in_']);
while($Row = mysql_fetch_assoc($Rows)) {
// Here you've got your tables. For each and every
// table again. Do whatever you want with it...
}
}
(but I'd personally just stick to phpMyAdmin)

RE: Query to emulate what mysqldump does
You could try to use the "select into {OUTFILE | DUMPFILE} from tablename
where blah=blah..."
I think you may be able to do "select into local outfile from blah"
Which will put the file on the same server as the MySQL client is running
on...
Cheers,
Andrew

What if I don't have phpmyadmin available? :)
What I am trying to do, it setup a simple script to pull down essentially a
backup of their database and write it to a file on my development machine so
when they mess up their data (..and I said WHEN) I can be a hero and revert
them to the last good backup before they "didn't touch a thing".

[/snip] Dude...phpmyadmin is free! ;) You can install it on a local server, but connect to mysql on the remote server(s). I use it to manage several DB servers including our test farm.

I thought about that Jay, but the mysql server is not on the webserver
machine. Any other suggestions?

Are there any query equivalencies to mysqldump? I am looking for a way
to get a complete database dump via php and I don't have access to the
system CLI to run mysql dump.
[/snip]
Run mysqldupmp in a php file using exec...see
http://www.php.net/exec
http://www.mysql.com/mysqldump
looks like
$foo = exec("mysqldump database [options]");
