Running commands

[karlovac]

I'd like to have a web based interface for backing up a database (by the administrator of a web app).

So far I've been running mysqldump from the shell.

If I wanted to create a script to do that, has PHP got such features, or would I have to write a CGI script?

Take care,

Antun

sure it does - you may wanna check out the framework - or use - phpMyAdmin

hi sid, could you post any snippet here, to get an idea on how it may work?
