Copy MySQL structure across servers via PHP

Question

I'm in need of help - I've got two mysql databases on different servers with a web host, and I need to copy a Joomla installation from one to the other. The problem I have is that the only way I can access the data is via php, as direct odbc connections to the database are locked down.

I don't mind doing it table by table, but have no idea of how to code the script :(

My knowledge of php is limited (hence using Joomla), so if anyone has a couple of minutes to point me in the right direction, it'd be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

PG

Answer 1

Can you install phpMyAdmin ? If so, it has a database export/import functionality that would likely be perfect for this.

Answer 2

Look at this post.

What would be the best way to backup and restore mysql dumps with just php?

Answer 3

您可以使用mysqldump ，尽管我会先尝试phpMyAdmin，如其他发布者所建议的那样。
