Yep, just mysqldump although that 's only half the story. After export, you need to import. Beste way to do this is with command line. Add following code to your export SQL file: USE `db_name`; Run following command: mysql --user=username -p < /location/of/export/file.sql This will impo

You can manipulate headers and so on all by yourself in Symfony. There is no component in Symfony that delivers API functionality by default, not for REST and not for SOAP. There is a plugin for it: http://www.symfony-project.org/plugins/sfRestAdminPlugin I wouldn 't recommend the plugin, because

The solution of Stefan is perfect. If you were executing through an exec() call, then a simple queue will fit your needs just fine. If no need to execute a task, then just add it to the queue, which is basically a list of tasks to be executed: 1. clear cache task 2. custom db cleaning task 3. c

No, it is not possible. In theory though, you can activate both the sfPropelPlugin and sfDoctrinePlugin, but you could run into issues. Then you would have 2 separate systems to manage your data and I doubt that is what you want. You will have to rewrite the functionality or find a similar plugi
