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? :-)
Easiest way to do this is an exec() call to mysqldump, then read the file
and include/attach it in the email.
Writing something to simulate mysqldump from within PHP would be a waste,
imo.
