============

[](#myphp-backup)

Perform simple and fast MySQL backup/restore using PHP. You can use it to dump a full database or only some tables.

More information: [Using PHP to backup MySQL databases](http://www.daniloaz.com/en/using-php-to-backup-mysql-databases/)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

**Backup:**

Simply upload *myphp-backup.php* script to the DocumentRoot directory of your web application via FTP or other method and run it accessing . You can also run it from command line.

Don't forget to set your database access credentials before performing any backup editing these lines from *myphp-backup.php* script:

```
/**
 * Define database parameters here
 */
define("DB_USER", 'your_username');
define("DB_PASSWORD", 'your_password');
define("DB_NAME", 'your_db_name');
define("DB_HOST", 'localhost');

define("BACKUP_DIR", 'myphp-backup-files'); // Comment this line to use same script's directory ('.')
define("TABLES", '*'); // Full backup
//define("TABLES", 'table1, table2, table3'); // Partial backup
define("CHARSET", 'utf8');
define("GZIP_BACKUP_FILE", true); // Set to false if you want plain SQL backup files (not gzipped)
define("DISABLE_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS", true); // Set to true if you are having foreign key constraint fails

```

By default backup files will be called *myphp-backup-{DB\_NAME}-YYYYmmdd-HHMMSS.sql.gz* and stored in *myphp-backup-files* subdirectory. Example output backup file:

```
myphp-backup-files/myphp-backup-daniloaz-20170828-131745.sql.gz

```

**Restore:**

Upload *myphp-restore.php* script to your DocumentRoot directory and your backup file to a subdirectory called *myphp-backup-files*. Then simply run the script accessing  or from command line.

You can change the backup filename and subdirectory editing these lines. Don't forget to set your user credentials too!

```
/**
 * Define database parameters here
 */
define("DB_USER", 'your_username');
define("DB_PASSWORD", 'your_password');
define("DB_NAME", 'your_db_name');
define("DB_HOST", 'localhost');
define("BACKUP_DIR", 'myphp-backup-files'); // Comment this line to use same script's directory ('.')
define("BACKUP_FILE", 'your-backup-file.sql.gz'); // Script will autodetect if backup file is gzipped or not based on .gz extension
define("CHARSET", 'utf8');
define("DISABLE_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS", true); // Set to true if you are having foreign key constraint fails

```
