Re: MySQLDump through PHP/HTML UI

Hi, Chris -- -- -- -- Yes, thanks for the suggestion: it runs from the command line just fine. I run them often, and it works in Windows. However, I just was able to gain access again to the error log (long story), and I see that the page is throwing an unrelated error that it does not throw in Windows. I will run down that road and see if that error is somehow getting in the way. Thank you for your ideas. Ken On Dec 10, 2008, at 3:50 PM, Chris wrote:

Hello - - -- - I have a utility which creates a MySQLDump of selected tables or the whole database. This works fine on my development machine, a W2K box. It does not work on the testing server, a linux box. I'll post code if you want, but it is very simple: 1. I create the "dump" language, including the file into which the data is dumped into a variable. 2. I perform system($dump_language). I also tried it exec($dump_language). Both produce the same result:

What cmd are you putting together (I assume something for mysqldump)? If you run it manually from the cmd line, does it work? Does it give an error? --Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
