Re: MySQL Dump using PHP

The thing is that I don't have phisical access to the server and it doesn't have telnet access either. What I want to achieve is to make a password protected page inside my site were a button is kept to start a full backup of my MySQL DB and after clicking on it, be able to select the Internet Explorer's option to store the file xxxxxxx.sql in my HDD. Is this possible? I use the built'in function of phpbb that does exactly that and it's just beautifull. Thanks again, ___________________________ Cesar L.
