note 89066 added to function.system

While using mysqldump or any other mysql query, use chdir to change the directory so that command can be executed. This will not work (Using XAMPP on ubuntu) system ( "./mysqldump -q -X -h localhost -u user_name -psome_pass db_name >/opt/lampp/htdocs/your_directory/tmp/db_name.xml",$error); But this will work chdir('/opt/lampp/bin'); system ( "./mysqldump -q -X -h localhost -u user_name -psome_pass db_name >/opt/lampp/htdocs/your_directory/tmp/db_name.xml",$error); Thanks ---- Server IP: 59.162.86.33 Probable Submitter: 118.94.82.109 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.system.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/89066 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89066/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89066/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89066/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89066/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89066/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89066/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89066 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/89066 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
