[PHP] Sweet PHP backup / dump function for MySQL database

[René Fournier]

Right now, I'm using phpMyAdmin to periodically backup/dump a client 
MySQL database to a textfile (from which one can simply restore the 
database if it ever got corrupted). I'm also working on a super-simple 
CMS for the client to use themselves. I would like the client to also 
be able to easily "backup" his web site's MySQL database to a textfile 
and have that textfile emailed to whatever address he specifies. Sort 
of a two step approach:

Enter email _________
< Backup and send database > (click)
I imagine someone somewhere has written a very nice function for doing 
this, which might take a few parameters, such as database, destination 
email address, etc. The main thing is that the function include 
complete inserts, extended inserts, backquotes, etc.

Anyone have a sweet function like this they wanna share, and in so 
doing make the world a better place?  :-)
