Insert back up database in a folder

PHP
1

Hi…

I’ve seen code for back up database but when I run the code the database was backup outside the folder. I want to put the back up database inside the folder

here is the code:


<?php
include 'config.php';
  backup_tables('localhost','root','','payroll');


/* backup the db OR just a table */
function backup_tables($host,$user,$pass,$name,$tables = '*')
{

    $link = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass);
    mysql_select_db($name,$link);

    //get all of the tables
    if($tables == '*')
    {
        $tables = array();
        $result = mysql_query('SHOW TABLES');
        while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
        {
            $tables[] = $row[0];
        }
    }
    else
    {
        $tables = is_array($tables) ? $tables : explode(',',$tables);
    }

    //cycle through
    foreach($tables as $table)
    {
        $result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM '.$table);
        $num_fields = mysql_num_fields($result);

        $return.= 'DROP TABLE '.$table.';';
        $row2 = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query('SHOW CREATE TABLE '.$table));
        $return.= "\
\
".$row2[1].";\
\
";

        for ($i = 0; $i < $num_fields; $i++)
        {
            while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
            {
                $return.= 'INSERT INTO '.$table.' VALUES(';
                for($j=0; $j<$num_fields; $j++)
                {
                    $row[$j] = addslashes($row[$j]);
                    $row[$j] = ereg_replace("\
","\\\
",$row[$j]);
                    if (isset($row[$j])) { $return.= '"'.$row[$j].'"' ; } else { $return.= '""'; }
                    if ($j<($num_fields-1)) { $return.= ','; }
                }
                $return.= ");\
";
            }
        }
        $return.="\
\
\
";
    }

    //save file
    $myfoldername = "backup_DBPayroll";//your folders name
    $handle = fopen(getcwd().$myfoldername.'db-backup-'.time().'-'.(md5(implode(',',$tables))).'.sql','w+');

   // $handle = fopen('db-backup-'.date('m-d-Y').'-'.(md5(implode(',',$tables))).'.sql','w+');
    fwrite($handle,$return);
    fclose($handle);
}


$smarty->display('header_cat.tpl');
$smarty->display('backup.tpl');
$smarty->display('footer.tpl');
?>

Thank you in advance

Here’s my guess. These two lines determine the ultimate location of the file:


$myfoldername = "backup_DB_Payroll";
$handle = fopen(getcwd().$myfoldername.'db-backup-'./* etc */);

But if you notice, there’s no slash in between $myfoldername and “db-backup-”. So instead of saving it to folder “backup_DB_Payroll”, it’s just prepending “backup_DB_Payroll” to the filename.

I think.

Actually from my source here is the actual code:


$myfoldername = "backup_DBPayroll";//your folders name
$handle = fopen(getcwd()./.$myfoldername.'db-backup-'.time().'-'.(md5(implode(',',$tables))).'.sql','w+');

but i got an error so I remove /

thank you

but i got an error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘/’ in C:\xampp\htdocs\payroll\backup_db.php on line 58

so I remove /

thank you

Try moving the slash inside the string, like this:


$handle = fopen(getcwd().$myfoldername.'/db-backup-'.time().'-'.(md5(implode(',',$tables))).'.sql','w+');

I already resolved it now using this code:


<?php
include 'config.php';
  backup_tables('localhost','root','','payroll');


/* backup the db OR just a table */
function backup_tables($host,$user,$pass,$name,$tables = '*')
{

    $link = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass);
    mysql_select_db($name,$link);

    //get all of the tables
    if($tables == '*')
    {
        $tables = array();
        $result = mysql_query('SHOW TABLES');
        while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
        {
            $tables[] = $row[0];
        }
    }
    else
    {
        $tables = is_array($tables) ? $tables : explode(',',$tables);
    }

    //cycle through
    foreach($tables as $table)
    {
        $result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM '.$table);
        $num_fields = mysql_num_fields($result);

        $return.= 'DROP TABLE '.$table.';';
        $row2 = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query('SHOW CREATE TABLE '.$table));
        $return.= "\
\
".$row2[1].";\
\
";

        for ($i = 0; $i < $num_fields; $i++)
        {
            while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
            {
                $return.= 'INSERT INTO '.$table.' VALUES(';
                for($j=0; $j<$num_fields; $j++)
                {
                    $row[$j] = addslashes($row[$j]);
                    $row[$j] = ereg_replace("\
","\\\
",$row[$j]);
                    if (isset($row[$j])) { $return.= '"'.$row[$j].'"' ; } else { $return.= '""'; }
                    if ($j<($num_fields-1)) { $return.= ','; }
                }
                $return.= ");\
";
            }
        }
        $return.="\
\
\
";
    }

    //save file
  // $myfoldername = "backup_DBPayroll";//your folders name
 // $handle = fopen(getcwd().\\.$myfoldername.'db-backup-'.time().'-'.(md5(implode(',',$tables))).'.sql','w+');
//$myfoldername = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/backup_DBPayroll/";//your folders name
//$handle = fopen($myfoldername.'db-backup-'.time().'-'.(md5(implode(',',$tables))).'.sql','w+');

$myfoldername = "../backup_DBPayroll/";//your folders name
$handle = fopen($myfoldername.'operatives-db-backup-'.date('m-d-Y').'-'.(md5(implode(',',$tables))).'.sql','w+');



//   $myfoldername = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/path-to/backup_DBPayroll/";//your folders name
 //   $handle = fopen($myfoldername.'db-backup-'.time().'-'.(md5(implode(',',$tables))).'.sql','w+');


   // $handle = fopen('db-backup-'.date('m-d-Y').'-'.(md5(implode(',',$tables))).'.sql','w+');
    fwrite($handle,$return);
    fclose($handle);
}
$smarty->display('payroll_report_cat.tpl');
//$smarty->display('header_cat.tpl');
$smarty->display('backup.tpl');
$smarty->display('footer.tpl');
?>

Now, I just want to ask if with this same code file is possible to add code for back up one table as csv file?
If possible how?

Thank you
