Hi.. I've seen code for back up database but when I run the code the database was backup outside the folder. I want to put the back up database inside the folder here is the code: Code: <?php include 'config.php'; backup_tables('localhost','root','','payroll'); /* backup the db OR just a table */ function backup_tables($host,$user,$pass,$name,$tables = '*') { $link = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass); mysql_select_db($name,$link); //get all of the tables if($tables == '*') { $tables = array(); $result = mysql_query('SHOW TABLES'); while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { $tables[] = $row[0]; } } else { $tables = is_array($tables) ? $tables : explode(',',$tables); } //cycle through foreach($tables as $table) { $result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM '.$table); $num_fields = mysql_num_fields($result); $return.= 'DROP TABLE '.$table.';'; $row2 = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query('SHOW CREATE TABLE '.$table)); $return.= "\n\n".$row2[1].";\n\n"; for ($i = 0; $i < $num_fields; $i++) { while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { $return.= 'INSERT INTO '.$table.' VALUES('; for($j=0; $j<$num_fields; $j++) { $row[$j] = addslashes($row[$j]); $row[$j] = ereg_replace("\n","[URL="file://\\n",$row[$j"]\\n",$row[$j[/URL]]); if (isset($row[$j])) { $return.= '"'.$row[$j].'"' ; } else { $return.= '""'; } if ($j<($num_fields-1)) { $return.= ','; } } $return.= ");\n"; } } $return.="\n\n\n"; } //save file $myfoldername = "backup_DBPayroll";//your folders name $handle = fopen(getcwd().$myfoldername.'db-backup-'.time().'-'.(md5(implode(',',$tables))).'.sql','w+'); // $handle = fopen('db-backup-'.date('m-d-Y').'-'.(md5(implode(',',$tables))).'.sql','w+'); fwrite($handle,$return); fclose($handle); } $smarty->display('header_cat.tpl'); $smarty->display('backup.tpl'); $smarty->display('footer.tpl'); ?> Thank you in advance
