 There are many pure PHP solutions for taking backup copies of MySQL databases.

Most solutions are suitable to run on restricted PHP hosting environments. However, if you have a large database it may take more time to create a backup copy than the default 30 second PHP script execution time limit. The backup process may not finish before the script is aborted.

This class provides a clever solution that avoids that problem. It splits the backup process into multiple steps, each extracting a limited number of table rows. This way, each step may take less time than the PHP execution time limit.

Detailed description

This class can be used to backup large MySQL databases into multiple files.

It can list the tables of a given MySQL database and generate SQL statements to create and insert records with the current values of the table rows, as if it was creating a new database. The class stores the generated SQL statements in files.

A full backup process can be split in multiple iterations to not exceed PHP default script execution time limit. Each iteration dumps a limited number of table rows. An iteration can be executed by a script that redirects the page request to itself at the end to proceed to the next iteration.
