Hi all,

I tried to dump a database:

<?php
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuser = "XXXX";
$dbpass = "XXXXXXXX";
$dbname = 'testdb';

$list = shell_exec ("C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.1.33\bin\mysqldump.exe $dbname  --user=$dbuser--password=$dbpass > dumpfile.sql");
?>

I tried both specified full path to mysqldump.exe or just use mysqldump, it still give me a 0kb dumpfile.sql

Details: Programming Language: PHP Database: MySql 5.XX OS(server): Windows Server 2003. (currently testing on Windows Vista machine)

EDIT @ Jeremy Heslop:

I tried:

shell_exec("C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.1.33\bin\mysqldump.exe --opt -h $dbhost -u$dbuser -p$dbpass $dbname > test.sql");

safe_mode = off

Still no luck man.
