PHP: Create Mongo database

Question

At following line i'm trying to create mongo database backup at specified path but it's not working. let me know what's wrong. Thank you.

 $command = "mongodump --db test --dbpath D:/dump/db";
     $results = shell_exec($command);

Answer 1

Note:

     shell_exec($command); does not work for windows!

It does not return result or might it returns some error. shell_exec work only for linux based systems like ubuntu.

if you still have some issues just hit mongodump command directly over your command prompt.
