Function for taking MySQL Backup in PHP

Here is the function for taking backup of a MySQL database without any external tool for MySQL.

$host ---> Hostname
$user ----> Username
$pass ----> Password
$name ----> Database name
If we need the total database, just put the value of $tables as * or else pass only the tables you want with comma separated.

function backup_tables($host,$user,$pass,$name,$tables = '*')
{

 $link = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass);
 mysql_select_db($name,$link);

 //get all of the tables
 if($tables == '*')
 {
 $tables = array();
 $result = mysql_query('SHOW TABLES');
 while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
 {
 $tables[] = $row[0];
 }
 }
 else
 {
 $tables = is_array($tables) ? $tables : explode(',',$tables);
 }

 //cycle through
 foreach($tables as $table)
 {
 $result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM '.$table);
 $num_fields = mysql_num_fields($result);

 //$return.= 'DROP TABLE '.$table.';';
 $row2 = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query('SHOW CREATE TABLE '.$table));
 $return.= "\n\n".$row2[1].";\n\n";

 for ($i = 0; $i < $num_fields; $i++)
 {
 while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
 {
 $return.= 'INSERT INTO '.$table.' VALUES(';
 for($j=0; $j<$num_fields; $j++)
 {
 $row[$j] = addslashes($row[$j]);
 $row[$j] = ereg_replace("\n","\\n",$row[$j]);
 if (isset($row[$j])) { $return.= '"'.$row[$j].'"' ; } else { $return.= '""'; }
 if ($j<($num_fields-1)) { $return.= ','; }
 }
 $return.= ");\n";
 }
 }
 $return.="\n\n\n";
 }
$s_file = 'db-backup-'.time().'-'.'.sql';
 //save file
 $handle = fopen($s_file,'w+');
 fwrite($handle,$return);
 fclose($handle);
 header("Location:".$s_file);
 exit;
}

Wish you all a Happy Independence Day........

Post your Status in Twitter using PHP

t$twitter_api_url = "http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml";
$twitter_data = "status=Visit http://anilkajadoo.blogspot.com/ for PHP tips and tutorials!";
$twitter_user = "your_user_name";
$twitter_password = "your_password";

The $twitter_data variable contains the message to be posted to Twitter, which you must ensure is 140 characters or less before posting. You could use strlen() function to do so when you ready the data to be sent, and truncate it if it’s too long by using substr() function. The status= before the message is the POST variable, the parameter for the API.


To send the request, we will use cURL, which is included on most servers. First we initiate cURL and pass it the URL we will be sending the request to:

$ch = curl_init($twitter_api_url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $twitter_data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "{$twitter_user}:{$twitter_password}");//Twitter Username & Password are used to post the status


$twitter_data = curl_exec($ch);
$httpcode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($ch);

All that’s left really is to see whether it worked or not. Since we have our handy $httpcode variable, we can just run a conditional statement to see if the response code is equal to 200 (which means everything went okay).

if ($httpcode != 200) {
     echo "The tweet wasn't posted correctly. ";
}

         

Create a Tiny URL using PHP

Function to create a tiny URL for the site using PHP....


function get_tiny_url($url){
    $ch = curl_init();
    $timeout = 5;
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,'http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url='.$url);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout);
    $data = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    return $data;
}

//Test the Function.......

$new_url = get_tiny_url('http://anilkajadoo.blogspot.com/');

//The tinyURL has been generated & just print it below
echo $new_url;

Get the Page title of a webpage using PHP

Below is the function for getting the Title of the webpage using PHP

function getMetaTitle($content){
$pattern = "|<[\s]*title[\s]*>([^<]+)<[\s]*/[\s]*title[\s]*>|Ui";
if(preg_match($pattern, $content, $match))
return $match[1];
else
return false;
}

$url = $siteurl; //Enter the Site URL which we want to get the Page Title
$content = file_get_contents($url);
$title = getMetaTitle($content);
$tags = get_meta_tags($siteurl); // To get the meta content, description, keywords of the given URL....


$tags is a array of all meta data
To get the Meta Keywords, Description we will use the get_meta_tags which is a predefined function in PHP. To retrieve the values we need to use $tags['keywords'] for Keywords & for Description $tag['description']
