Welcome to SO.

This Problem is more a php question than a mysql-Problem. Do you have to run the dump-command by php? You might want to run mysqldump directly from command-line.

If you have MyISAM Tables you can just copy the three files of that table (.frm, .MYD, .MYI) to create a backup of this table.
