Dump one MySQL database to another MySQL database

Filed under: Programming,Server Admin — dh @ 1:28 am

mysqldump -u[uname] -p[password] [table] | mysql -u[uname] -p[password] –host=[ip address] -C [table]

I.E.: mysqldump -umy_user_name -pmy_secret_password foo_table | mysql -umy_2nd_user_name -pmy_2nd_secret_password –host=1.1.1.1 -C foo_table

(whole command should be on one line of course.) :)

PHP, OpenSSL and ftp_ssl_connect() on Win32, my journey…

Filed under: Programming,Server Admin — dh @ 1:46 pm

I need to compile php for Windows so that the ftp_ssl_connect function would be available. This is how I did it. All of this is as of today, May 19, 2008. Windows XP Pro SP2.

  • Download & Install (this is a large install > 1GB):
    » Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
    » Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5

  • Copy C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Include\WinResrc.h to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Include\winres.h

  • Create the directory C:\work

  • Download:
    » php 5.2.6 Source Code and extract it to the C:\work\ folder.

  • Download:
    » Needed Libraries (zip.zip). Edin Kadribašic has a nice zip file with everything in it. You need to go into subfolder /php/win32 and click on zip.zip. (If this link is down try this one: http://perisama.net/ ). Create folder C:\work\php_build\ and extract the zip file into it.

  • Download:
    » Newer libxml2. The libxml package that is included in the zip file was a little out of date. Download this one and extract the contents of the zip file on top of C:\work\php_build\ . Overwrite files as needed.

  • Download & Install:
    » Win32 OpenSSL (Win32 OpenSSL v0.9.8g)

  • Patch php source:
    As of php 5.2.6, you will need to patch C:\work\php-5.2.6\ext\ftp\ftp.c in your php source directory. deciacco did some awesome work in producing a working patch. You can see his site here. You can download my patched version for php 5.2.6 here. Just replace the copy of ftp.c in your C:\work\php-5.2.6\ext\ftp\ folder.

  • Open:
    Start > Program Files > Visual C++ 9.0 Express Edition > Visual Studio Tools > Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt

  • Type these commands into the Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt:
    Link To Commands
    You will see many, many compile warnings. This is quite normal. :)

    • If everything went well, you should now have php.exe in the folder C:\work\Release_TS\ which has ftp_ssl_connect functionality.
