To really backup the database values, I made a little changement : My code really looks like bomas 's code, but there is an important diffence : <?php $nbc = mysql_num_fields($req_table); while ($ligne = mysql_fetch_array($req_table)) { $insertions = "INSERT INTO $table VALUES("; for ($i=0; $i<$nbc; $i++) { if ( $i > 0 ) $insertions .= ", "; if ( !isset($ligne[$i])) $insertions .= "NULL"; else $insertions .= "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($ligne[$i]). "'"; } $insertions .= ");"; $dumpsql[] = $insertions; } ?> $dumpslq is the variable where I put the insertion orders before writting them in a text file. Before, I test that the values if not NULL into the field because it is the only way to make the difference, for example for string text fields, between NULL values and empty strings. If you don't make this test, you should find empty string instead of NULL values when you do the backup. --was-- To really backup the database values, I made a little changement : My code really looks like bomas 's code, but there is an important diffence : $nbc = mysql_num_fields($req_table); while ($ligne = mysql_fetch_array($req_table)) { $insertions = "INSERT INTO $table VALUES("; for ($i=0; $i<$nbc; $i++) { if ( $i > 0 ) $insertions .= ", "; // /// The difference is here, the test on NULL value // if ( !isset($ligne[$i])) $insertions .= "NULL, "; else $insertions .= "'".mysql_real_escape_string($ligne[$i]) .
