There are at least three ways to backup your <strong>MySQL</strong> <strong>Database</strong> :<br />
1. Execute a database backup query from <strong>PHP</strong> file.<br />
2. Run mysqldump using system() function.<br />
3. Use phpMyAdmin to do the backup.<br />
Execute a database backup query from <strong>PHP</strong> file<br />
Below is an example of using SELECT INTO OUTFILE query for creating table backup :<br />
<br />
<strong>To</strong> restore the backup you just need to run LOAD DATA INFILE query like this :<br />
$tableName";<br />
$result = mysql_query($query);<br />
include 'closedb.php';<br />
?><br />
It's a good idea to name the backup file as tablename.sql so you'll know from which table the backup file is<br />
Run mysqldump using system() function<br />
The system() function is used to execute an external program. Because <strong>MySQL</strong> already have built in tool for<br />
creating <strong>MySQL</strong> database backup (mysqldump) let's use it from our <strong>PHP</strong> script<br />
<br />
Use phpMyAdmin to do the backup<br />
This option as you may guessed doesn't involve any programming on your part. However I think i mention it<br />
anyway so you know more options to backup your database.<br />
<strong>To</strong> backup your <strong>MySQL</strong> database using phpMyAdmin click on the "export" link on phpMyAdmin main page.<br />
Choose the database you wish to backup, check the appropriate SQL options and enter the name for the<br />
backup file.<br />
