I am trying to create a one click backup database script so non-geek
office staff can do backups, but so far I can only output empty files -
the new file appears, but it is empty....

E.G.
$db_user = "root";
$db_password = "";
$db_database = "or";
$db_server = "localhost";
$backup_path = "C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\openreal\\admin\\backup\\";
$path_to_mysqldump = "C:\\xampp\\mysql\\bin\\";
$filename = "backup".date("YmdHis").".sql";

shell_exec ("mysqldump $db_database > $path_to_mysqldump.$filename
--user=$db_user --password=$db_password");

I have tried various forms of this syntax with no content output?
