thanks for the reply, but that didn't help ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'mysqldump -h localhost -u xxx -p xxx backup.sql' at line 1 any ideas?

Re: [PHP] MySQL Table backup
Your not trying to run that from within MySQL are you? You do know that mysqldump is an entirely seperate command then the mysql console (where you would for instance type, USE DB; SELECT blah FROM table) right?

Unless the omission of the redirection sign but not backup.sql was intentional, in which case you have too many parameters. Adam's reply implied removing both.
