Re: Using PHP to copy tables
Sound like a great idea! Is there an easy way to create an HTML page that will copy selected tables to backup copies on the same server? I want to create an administration page for my client to be able to backup their database whenever they see fit. But, I can't give them direct access to the MySQL server and don't want them backing up to their hard drive.

Re: Using PHP to copy tables
Try using such command from PHP... system($MYSQLDUMP --opt --user=$USER --password=$PASSWORD $DATABASE_NAME $GZIP - $BKDIR/$newfile.gz,$status); where $MYSQLDUMP is the mysqldump path $GZIP is the path to gzip $BKDIR is the path to the backup folder Looking for a job!?
