This is a php version of linux's mysqldump in terminal "$ mysqldump -u username -p...", without dependencies, output compression and sane defaults.
Out of the box, MySQLDump-PHP supports backing up table structures, the data itself, views and triggers.
MySQLDump-PHP is the only library that supports:
- output binary blobs as hex.
- resolves view dependencies (using Stand-In tables).
- output compared against original mysqldump. Linked to travis-ci testing system.
- dumps stored procedures.
- does extended-insert and/or complete-insert.
From version 2.0, connections to database are made using the standard DSN, documented in PDO connection string.
- PHP 5.3.0 or newer
- MySQL 4.1.0 or newer
- PDO
Using Composer:
$ composer require ifsnop/mysqldump-php:2.*
Or via json file:
"require": {
"ifsnop/mysqldump-php":"2.*"
}
Using Curl:
$ curl --silent --location https://github.com/ifsnop/mysqldump-php/archive/v2.0.0.tar.gz | tar xvfz -
With Autoloader/Composer:
<?php
use Ifsnop\Mysqldump as IMysqldump;
try {
$dump = new IMysqldump\Mysqldump('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb', 'username', 'password');
$dump->start('storage/work/dump.sql');
} catch (\Exception $e) {
echo 'mysqldump-php error: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
?>
Plain old PHP:
<?php
include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/mysqldump-php-2.0.0/src/Ifsnop/Mysqldump/Mysqldump.php');
$dump = new Ifsnop\Mysqldump\Mysqldump('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb', 'username', 'password');
$dump->start('storage/work/dump.sql');
?>
Refer to the wiki for some examples and a comparision between mysqldump and mysqldump-php dumps.

To dump a database, you need the following privileges :
- SELECT
- In order to dump table structures and data.
- SHOW VIEW
- If any databases has views, else you will get an error.
- TRIGGER
- If any table has one or more triggers.
- LOCK TABLES
- If "lock tables" option was enabled.
Use SHOW GRANTS FOR user@host; to know what privileges user has. See the following link for more information:
Which are the minimum privileges required to get a backup of a MySQL database schema?
Current code for testing is an ugly hack. Probably there are much better ways of doing them using PHPUnit, so PR's are welcomed. The testing script creates and populates a database using all possible datatypes. Then it exports it using both mysqldump-php and mysqldump, and compares the output. Only if it is identical tests are OK.
