[![Latest Stable Version](https://poser.pugx.org/ifsnop/mysqldump-php/v/stable.png)](https://packagist.org/packages/ifsnop/mysqldump-php)

This is a php version of mysqldump cli that comes with MySQL, without dependencies, output compression and sane defaults.

Out of the box, MySQLDump-PHP supports backing up table structures, the data itself, views, triggers and events.

MySQLDump-PHP is the only library that supports:
* output binary blobs as hex.
* resolves view dependencies (using Stand-In tables).
* output compared against original mysqldump. Linked to travis-ci testing system (testing from php 5.3 to 7.1 & hhvm)
* dumps stored procedures.
* dumps events.
* does extended-insert and/or complete-insert.
* supports virtual columns from MySQL 5.7.
* does insert-ignore, like a REPLACE but ignoring errors if a duplicate key exists.

## Important

From version 2.0, connections to database are made using the standard DSN, documented in [PDO connection string](http://php.net/manual/en/ref.pdo-mysql.connection.php).

## Requirements

- PHP 5.3.0 or newer
- MySQL 4.1.0 or newer
- [PDO](http://php.net/pdo)

## Installing

Using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org):

```
$ composer require ifsnop/mysqldump-php:2.*

```

Or via json file:

```
"require": {
        "ifsnop/mysqldump-php":"2.*"
}
```

Using [Curl](http://curl.haxx.se) to always download and decompress the latest release:

```
$ curl --silent --location https://api.github.com/repos/ifsnop/mysqldump-php/releases | grep -i tarball_url | head -n 1 | cut -d '"' -f 4 | xargs curl --location --silent | tar xvz
```

## Getting started

With [Autoloader](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-4/)/[Composer](http://getcomposer.org):

```php
<?php

use Ifsnop\Mysqldump as IMysqldump;

try {
    $dump = new IMysqldump\Mysqldump('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb', 'username', 'password');
    $dump->start('storage/work/dump.sql');
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    echo 'mysqldump-php error: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
```

Plain old PHP:

```php
<?php

    include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/mysqldump-php-2.0.0/src/Ifsnop/Mysqldump/Mysqldump.php');
    $dump = new Ifsnop\Mysqldump\Mysqldump('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb', 'username', 'password');
    $dump->start('storage/work/dump.sql');
```

Refer to the [wiki](https://github.com/ifsnop/mysqldump-php/wiki/full-example) for some examples and a comparision between mysqldump and mysqldump-php dumps.

## Errors

To dump a database, you need the following privileges :

- **SELECT**
  - In order to dump table structures and data.
- **SHOW VIEW**
  - If any databases has views, else you will get an error.
- **TRIGGER**
  - If any table has one or more triggers.
- **LOCK TABLES**
  - If "lock tables" option was enabled.

Use **SHOW GRANTS FOR user@host;** to know what privileges user has. See the following link for more information:

[Which are the minimum privileges required to get a backup of a MySQL database schema?](http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/55546/which-are-the-minimum-privileges-required-to-get-a-backup-of-a-mysql-database-sc/55572#55572)

## Tests

Current code for testing is an ugly hack. Probably there are much better ways
of doing them using PHPUnit, so PR's are welcomed. The testing script creates
and populates a database using all possible datatypes. Then it exports it
using both mysqldump-php and mysqldump, and compares the output. Only if
it is identical tests are OK.

## TODO

Write more tests.
