Re: mysqldump

I wonder if you need to specify the full pathname for mysqldump - when it's being executed by a script it may not know where mysqldump is, whereas if you execute it yourself your PATH tells it where to go, which might be why it works under that circumstance. HTH, David.

I have created a PHP script that looks like:

<?php
  $filename = "/var/www/html/db_backup_" . date("n-j-y").".sql";
  exec('mysqldump -u ***** -p***** database > $filename');
?>

For some reason this doesnt work and I cant figure out why. There is no
error that comes back. When I run the mysqldump command from the server
console it produces the file fine. I have read a few other posts out there
about this same thing which resulted in the location the file was being
saved. But I have gone through my server and found nothing. Does anyone
have any suggestions for regarding this.


Thanks,

Aaron
