Re: [PHP-DB] MySQLDump through PHP/HTML UI
Hi, Rick - - - Well, there really is not a lot to tell. Yes, it is being prompted by a HTML page. I show the table names with checkboxes or an all. As a result, I build the simplest 'dump statement; mysqldump databasenamepath/outfilename,sql --tables -- user=dunknob --password=doorknob Anyway, it did turn out to be a permissions problem, so marked this one with a big SOLVED. it didn't smell like one, however, as the file was being written, the dump' heading lines were there, just the parameters were ignored. Ah, well Thanks for your suggestions.

Re: [PHP-DB] mysqldump
I wonder if you need to specify the full pathname for mysqldump - when
it's being executed by a script it may not know where mysqldump is,
whereas if you execute it yourself your PATH tells it where to go,
which might be why it works under that circumstance. HTH, David.

about this same thing which resulted in the location the file was being
saved. But I have gone through my server and found nothing. Does anyone
have any suggestions for regarding this.

Subject: [PHP-DB] mysqldump
Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2004 12:59:31 -0500
I have created a PHP script that looks like:
?php
$filename = /var/www/html/db_backup_ . date(n-j-y)..sql;
exec('mysqldump -u * -p* database $filename');
?
For some reason this doesnt work and I cant figure out why. There is no
error that comes back. When I run the mysqldump command from the server
console it produces the file fine. I have read a few other posts out there
about this same thing which resulted in the location the file was being
saved. But I have gone through my server and found nothing. Does anyone
have any suggestions for regarding this.
Thanks,
Aaron

Try using double quotes.
Also just like performing SQL queries, it's a very good idea to build up the
command you want executed, store it in a string ($cmd), then echo it to see
whether it looks good, then exec($cmd).

Re: [PHP-DB] mysqldump
Jason,
I tried the double quotes but that didn't seem to matter. I also put the
command string in a variable and then am running the variable with exec.
Still it doesnt work.
$filename = /home/virtual/site341/fst/var/www/html/db_backup_ .
date(n-j-y)..sql;
$command = /home/virtual/site341/fst/usr/bin/mysqldump -u * -p*
database $filename;
echo $command;
exec($command);
Thanks for your post,
Aaron

Splitting it up into 2 steps is to aid in debugging. $filename = /home/virtual/site341/fst/var/www/html/db_backup_ . date(n-j-y)..sql; $command = /home/virtual/site341/fst/usr/bin/mysqldump -u * -p* database $filename; echo $command; If what is being echoed looks OK then exec($command); make use of the extra arguments to exec() (see manual) so that you can see what's being output. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-db -- /* If you can survive death, you can probably survive anything. */ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP-DB] mysqldump
Hi, Can you show the code? How r u running mysqldump in your php code? I think phpmyadmin has such facility as well, you may want to check their code and see how they did it ...

Re: [PHP-DB] mysqldump
Hi buttoz
Here's how I did it ...
function get_script($dbname) {
$cmd = /usr/bin/mysqldump -u._DBUSER. -p._DBPASS. ._MDFLAGS. .$dbname;
$script = `$cmd`;
return $script;
}
_MDFLAGS is a constant which holds the flags you want to pass to mysqldump ... I
commonly use -c and -add-drop-table. _DBUSER and _DBPASS are also constants
containing the username and password mysqldump needs to connect to mysql with (funnily
enough!!). Note there is NO space between the -p flag and the password.
