I'm trying to figure out how to export info from a Mysql database,
using PHP to manage the export, as phpMyAdmin manages to do. I'm
guessing I need to run a shell script that looks like this:

mysqldump -u username -ppassword database_name > FILE.sql

and I need to call this shell script using one of the functions on this
page:

http://us2.php.net/exec

but which?

Do I use exec?
