MySQL Dump Utility
==================

[](#mysql-dump-utility)

This is a backup utility used to dump a database for backup or transfer to another MySQL server. The dump typically contains SQL statements to create the table, populate it, or both.

It requires PHP 8.2 or later.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Create [MySQLi](http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.construct.php) object and pass it to the MySQLDump:

```
$db = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', 'password', 'database');
$dump = new MySQLDump($db);
```

You can optionally specify how each table or view should be exported:

```
$dump->tables['search_cache'] = MySQLDump::DROP | MySQLDump::CREATE;
$dump->tables['log'] = MySQLDump::NONE;
```

Available flags: `NONE`, `DROP`, `CREATE`, `DATA`, `TRIGGERS`, `ROUTINES`, and `ALL` (all of the above). `ROUTINES` is read from `$dump->tables['*']` and controls export of stored functions, stored procedures, and scheduled events at the database level. The `DEFINER=` clause is stripped from exported routines so the dump imports cleanly under any user.

Then simply call `save()` or `write()`:

```
$dump->save('export.sql.gz');
```

Import dump from file to database this way:

```
$import = new MySQLImport($db);
$import->load('dump.sql.gz');
```
