zülküf küçüközer: You can execute shell command by PHP indeed but if you gonna do it every day, a cron job would probably be a better idea (:

I think this technique will be more usefull if we create a php script that exports database automatically for everyday. Because we can execute shell command by php right ?

Hi Danny, for XAMPP, you need to add “;C:xamppmysqlbin” to your list of environment variables. This is assuming that your XAMPP is located in the C drive.

You then need to upload to your server and import using the ‘mysql’ command in your server as described above.

on windows you can use open source sqlyog community version – it can backup (and restore) database as sql dump. i use it a lot, and so far i had no problems with it.
