MySQL Backup

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

I needed a PHP script that would backup a MySQL database and email the copy to a specified email address. I found parts of the script below on the we and added them together along with some
of my PHP code. This script will backup all tables in a single database, using mysqldump, zip the resulting file and email the zip file as an attachment to a specified email address.

To use this script, download the file, change the .txt extension to .php and change the parameters at the top of the file. You can run the script interactively or setup a cron job or a Windows Scheduled Task.

[The requested file http://threegerbers.com/examples/mysqlbackup.txt could not be found]

Taskdriver

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

I’ve been using Taskdriver to manage some projects at my current job. It’s a great tool. Taskdriver is focused on tracking and reporting on tasks. It’s not meant to be a complete project management tool, but it is simplicity at it’s finest. Selfishly, there were a few features I wanted that weren’t available. That being said there were a few features I wanted to add, so if joined the open source team.

The team is lead by Todd Brillon and he has a great vision for the product. I just changed out the authentication methodology and we are currently in beta for the 2.0 version. Check it out, sign-up for the beta and let us know what you think!
