Installation

This library can be easily installed using Composer, a modern PHP dependency manager.

Step 1: Install Composer

If you don't have Composer installed, you can download and install it by following the instructions on the official Composer website.

Step 2: Install the Library

Once Composer is installed, you can install the mysql-backup library by running the following command in your project's root directory:

composer require ramazancetinkaya/mysql-backup

Usage

require 'vendor/autoload.php'; // Include Composer's autoloader

use DatabaseBackupManager\MySQLBackup;

// Initialize PDO connection
$db = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=my_database', 'username', 'password');

// Create an instance of MySQLBackup
$mysqlBackup = new MySQLBackup($db);

• Perform a database backup:

// Backs up all tables
$backup = $mysqlBackup->backup();

// Backs up the specified tables
$backup = $mysqlBackup->backup(['tablename1']);
$backup = $mysqlBackup->backup(['tablename1', 'tablename2']);

// Include table data in the backup or vice versa
$backup = $mysqlBackup->backup(null, true); // Default is true

// Archiving
$backup = $mysqlBackup->backup(null, true, false); // Default is false

// Send the backup file by email
$backup = $mysqlBackup->backup(null, true, true, '[email protected]'); // Default is null

if ($backup) {
    echo "Database backup created successfully.";
} else {
    echo "Database backup failed!";
}

• Perform a database restore:

// Restore a database
$backupFile = 'backup_wordpress-2024-05-09_214345.sql';
$restore = $mysqlBackup->restore($backupFile);

// Whether to drop existing tables before restoring data
$restore = $mysqlBackup->restore($backupFile, true); // Default is true

if ($restore) {
    echo "Database restored successfully.";
} else {
    echo "Database restoration failed!";
}
