WampServer

Hello, i'm trying to setup an automatic mysql backup, its a PHP script where can i put it so that its only accessable from the inside? Do i have to setup an alias folder in apache? How do i do it, when i put the script in my www directory it works good but its accessable from outside and anyone. Can i set it up to run like phpmyadmin and even have a link in the wamp menu? The script is called phpmybackup????thanks

Or is there a better way for a sql auto backup?

To set outside www folder, the simplest way is to save it in wamp folder (still outside www folder, right?) and create Alias for it

Did you use wamp menu to create Alias? If so, you should have it in wamp menu already ;-)

Hi,

If you use the PHP command line interface (CLI), the script can be anywhere. CLI scripts have nothing to do with the www folder. If add the folder c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.5\bin into the system PATH, you can call PHP in your .cmd scripts by just php, not with the full path.
