Question

I use mysql with zend.
I’d like to do an apple script to backup one database on a specific folder.

I know how to do in php but not with applescript.

See below my script in PHP.

    <?php
require_once ('../MySQL.php');
require_once ('../conf.php');
include('../functions.php');

echo '----------------- Dump mySQL-----------------<br>';

$NameFile=DB_DATABASE . date("Y-m-d-H-i-s") . '.sql';
$backupFile =$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/MySoft/backup/'.$NameFile;

$commandMac = '/usr/local/zend/mysql/bin/mysqldump -h '.DB_HOST.' -u '.DB_USER.' -p'.DB_PWD.' -B '.DB_DATABASE.'>'. $backupFile;

system($commandMac);


?>

So could you help me to do the same with applescript.

Thanks

Answer 1

The simple method would be to run the php script from applescript. Something like this would work…

set phpScriptPath to "/path/to/phpscript"
do shell script "php -q " & quoted form of POSIX path of phpScriptPath
