backup mysql db...

Dear all,
if a table in mysql contain blob field for storing binary.

is it possible to dump/store using php?

i have searched throughly the group, all mention the using mysqldump command to do so, but does it support dumping
blob field?

if i want to archive a table containing blob fields, how to do so??

any one show me a direction to do otherwise it is infeasible in mysql database.
