I'm currently organising the third edition Full Stack Europe. It's a conference in Antwerp, Belgium in October for developers who want to learn across the stack. We have a great line up with lots of familiar faces! Register your ticket now!
A few weeks ago I released a package called db-dumper. The package can dump the structure and contents of a database to a file. Here's how it can be used:
Spatie\DbDumper\Databases\MySql::create()
->setDbName($databaseName)
->setUserName($userName)
->setPassword($password)
->dumpToFile('dump.sql');
Behind the scenes mysqldump is used, so make sure it is installed on your system.
Currently only the dumping of MySQL databases is supported, but I'm accepting PR's that add support for other databases.
This package will be used by version 3 of the laravel-backup package which will be released somewhere in March.
You can follow me on these platforms:
On all these platforms, regularly share programming tips, and what I myself have learned in ongoing projects.
Every month I send out a newsletter containing lots of interesting stuff for the modern PHP developer.
Expect quick tips & tricks, interesting tutorials, opinions and packages. Because I work with Laravel every day there is an emphasis on that framework.
Rest assured that I will only use your email address to send you the newsletter and will not use it for any other purposes.
