Re: backup database - mysqldump problem with 5000 tables and more

[Markus Sander]

I have been using this one:

exec("mysqldump -u dataname -ppwd --add-drop-table dataname table1 table2 etc >dump" . date('Ymd') . ".sql");

I am dumping some tables, after them, once again in a loop till I backuped all the database.

But ... I still get the internal server error.
The Curious thing is that I get this error, but the script is still running and backing up until the timeout.
