I would like to do a backup of an entire MySQL database via php. My
thought was to use mysqldump, write the data to a file and save the
file. However...
$query=mysqldump $dbase;
$result=mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
...immediately results in an error in your SQL
mysqldump is a .exe, and therefore it will not work within mysql_query();
You may be able to use mysqldump from PHP using the system function
