    I'm having troubles with a little something I'm trying to make. Right now I have;

    

<?php

$command="mysqldump --add-drop-table -uUSER --password=PASS DB TABLE";
$test=system($command);

?>
    Code (markup):
    As i'm not putting the dump into a file, i'm getting abit confused. But i'd like to be able to restore that data using the variable test.

    Any suggestions? :eek::confused:

    not quite sure what you're trying todo but if you want to dump the data into a file you would use the command

    "mysqldump --add-drop-table -uUSER --password=PASS DB TABLE > filename"
