PHP - Amazon Backup

Hello all,

I need to be able to create file backups on different types of servers running php (windows or linux). I was hoping that there was a good php class out there that would already handle this for me but I have not come across anything as of yet. I can do it perfectly fine in the linux environment but was hoping to find something that would work on a variety of servers running php. I was hoping that it would support php 4 for older sites. If anyone has any good resources for this please let me know.

Thanks

Ok. I managed to do something like this:

I used CreateZipFile classs from php classes!

Code: [Select]
<?php
include_once 'CreateZipFile.inc.php';

$createZip = new CreateZipFile;

$createZip->zipDirectory('binary', '');

$zipFileName = 'backup.zip';
$handle       = fopen($zipFileName, 'wb');
$out           = fwrite($handle, $createZip->getZippedFile());

fclose($handle);

$createZip->forceDownload($zipFileName);

@unlink($zipFileName);
?>

but there is still one small issue. The archive doesn't contain any empty folders within the binary folder.

I am using small script (with crone) to backup database every morning, zip and send me mail (with .sql/zip attached).


But backup is not in UTF-8 format, so I get this:
"Č" -> "C"
"Š" -> "S"
etc.


I have tried various solution but nothing works. Also tried utf_encode() function, but then I get strange characters.


Script looks like this:


function backup_tables($host,$user,$pass,$name,$tables = '*',$date)
{

$link = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass);
mysql_select_db($name,$link);

//ALL 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);
}

//GET DATA
foreach($tables as $table)
{
$result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM '.$table);
$num_fields = mysql_num_fields($result);

$return.= 'DROP TABLE IF EXISTS '.$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] = str_replace("\n","\\n",$row[$j]);
if (isset($row[$j])) { $return.= '"'.$row[$j].'"' ; } else { $return.= '""'; }
if ($j<($num_fields-1)) { $return.= ','; }
}
$return.= ");\n";
}
}
$return.="\n\n\n";
}
//SAVE
$handle = fopen('Backup-'.$date.'.sql','w+');
fwrite($handle,$return);
fclose($handle);
}

I have been searching the web and I can't fond anyone that has working code for backing up database with PHP. Most of them have the notorious depreciated ereg_replace function.

Does anyone know of a simple solution? I want it to backup all the tables in the database
