MySQLDump - PHP

This is a php version of linux's mysqldump in terminal "$ mysqldump -u username -p...".

Requirements

PHP 5 >= 5.1.0, PECL pdo >= 0.2.0

Installation

Install mysqldump using artisan:

php artisan bundle:install mysqldump

Then in your application/bundles.php file, add the following line to load Resizer automatically:

return array(
    'mysqldump' => array( 'auto' => true )
);

Or without the 'auto' => true to load it on demand:

return array(
    'mysqldump'
);

Base usage

<?php

$dump = new MySQLDump('forum','forum_user','forum_pass','localhost');
$dump->start('forum_dump.sql');
$dump->nodata = false;
$dump->compress = true;
$dump->droptableifexists = true;
$dump->start('forum_dump_with_drops.sql.gz');    

Advanced usage

<?php

class Cron_Controller extends Base_Controller
{
    public function get_backup()
    {
        Bundle::start('mysqldump');
        $conn = Config::get('database.connections.mysql');

        $filename = time() . ".sql";
        $filepath = "storage/work/";

        $dump = new MySQLDump();
        $dump->host     = $conn['host'];
        $dump->user     = $conn['username'];
        $dump->pass     = $conn['password'];
        $dump->db       = $conn['database'];
        $dump->filename = $filepath . $filename;
        $dump->start();

        return "Backup complete.";
    }
}

This was originally written by James Elliott in 2009, I OOP'd it up, outputted to file, simplified the process, fixed some mysql errors, and updated it to PSR standards.
