PHP and MySql database backup

[Konrad]

I have an internet portal based on MySql database and what I need is
to make a database backup , after each actualization of data.

I know how should PHP code look like but I have no idea how to create
SQL command that will backup full database.

I know that this group does't concern MySql directly but lots of PHP
programmers have wide knowledge of MySql.

I will be grateful for help.

Greetings

Konrad

I run this script from cron every night:

$ more sql-backup.sh
export test2
declare test2=`date|cut -c 1-3`
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump --all-databases -ppassword |gzip >
/var/backups/all_databases_$test2.sql.gz

but I found a lot of php based solutions at
