Build Status Scrutinizer Quality Score Latest Stable Version

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.

Requirements

  • PHP 5.3.0 or newer
  • MySQL 4.1.0 or newer
  • PDO

Installing

Using Composer:

$ composer require ifsnop/mysqldump-php:1.*

Or via json file:

"require": {
        "ifsnop/mysqldump-php":"1.*"
}

Using Curl:

$ curl --silent --location https://github.com/ifsnop/mysqldump-php/archive/v1.4.1.tar.gz | tar xvfz -

Getting started

With Autoloader/Composer:

<?php

use Ifsnop\Mysqldump as IMysqldump;

try {
    $dump = new IMysqldump\Mysqldump('database', '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-1.4.1/src/Ifsnop/Mysqldump/Mysqldump.php');
    $dump = new Ifsnop\Mysqldump\Mysqldump( 'database', 'username', 'password');

Dump Settings

The following options are now enabled by default, and there is no way to disable them since they should always be used.

Errors

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.
  • SUPER
    • If "single-transaction" option was enabled.

Use SHOW GRANTS FOR user@host; to know what privileges user has. See the following link for more information:

TODO

  • Write unit tests.
