You always have the PHP system command:
system ('mysqldump mydb > /tmp/mydb.dump');
which calls the scripting environment.

It all depends. Perhaps better to start with what you know, although
scripting is usually fewer lines for simple commands.
But as soon as it starts to become more complex, PHP would be better.
