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.

Create MySQLi 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 and triggers 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');
