If you are using MySQL, this should work:
echo exec("mysqldump -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD DATABASE"
;
There is probably some other way to do it, but that should do what you want. //Daniel

It doesn't work on my script. I get a blank screen.

Try executing your command from a console. If it does work there, make sure that the webserver user has the rights execute the mysqldump program. //Daniel
