Hi, i need to use a PHP script to backup the data and strucutre of a MySQL DB. I'm using a Hosting provider so i don't have access to things like Mysql Dump etc.

I've written a basic script that reads the data and structure of a DB into a text file that has the create and insert commands to restore the DB. But it's a bit dodgy and i wouldn't want to use it for produciton purposes.

I know there's a few of these floating around the web, but I'd like to hear if anyone has had experience with any, and which would be recommended? I jsut want something simple and reliable.
