What PHP-function/command are you using to invoke the mysqldump

As I said in the original post, I have used both system() and exec(),  
both with the same result.






Try including a flush() statement right before you start dumping.



I'll try it, thanks.

Merci, Yves - --

It takes the blink of an eye. It seems like none of the string is  
running at all.


Also, yeah, the slashes thing used to trip me up, too, when I first  
started working around Linux boxes. However, the file *is* being  
created and it is in the right place, just nothing in it.

Hi Ken,

How long does the mysqldump operation last? Maybe it's a script  
timeout problem? And maybe you have different settings on both  
machines?


Other idea: what about pathnames? Linux uses "/" to separate paths,  
Windows uses "\".


That's all I have for now,

Yves

Subject: [PHP-DB] MySQLDump through PHP/HTML UI



Hello - - -- -

I have a utility which creates a MySQLDump of selected tables or  
the whole database.  This works fine on my development machine, a  
W2K  box. It does not work on the testing server, a linux box.


I'll post code if you want, but it is very simple:

1. I create the "dump" language, including the file into which  
the  data is dumped into a variable.


2. I perform system($dump_language). I also tried it exec  
($dump_language). Both produce the same result:


The file is created (the directory is one for which the  
application  has r/w rights). In Windoze, the file is complete and  
perfect. On the  Linux box, only the header information of the  
dump file is written,  nothing about any database or table.


Any ideas?

Thank you,

Ken
