so I’ve finally gotten hosting space elsewhere, but it may take me a bit to switch over…expect a hiccup somewhere in the next week or so.

oh, and on that note: I’m having trouble getting to cpanel & phpmyadmin. anybody know any tricks for backing up databases w/out having that access? (I can write PHP, and if I haven’t gotten to it in a day or two, I’ll just guess at what databases I’ve got, and write some scriptage to do it myself. but I’d appreciate any shortcuts, of course.)

    php database dump script

    You rock. :) I’ll definitely be taking a look at that.

    I usually just ssh in to shell and execute the command “mysqldump databasename > databasename.sql”. That of course assumes you’re using MySQL.

    Ralph,

    My webhost doesn’t provide ssh. It is on the list of things I MUST HAVE the next time I switch hosts.

    That assumes I’ve ever used ssh…which I haven’t. honestly, I’m not sure if they provide it or not…but I’ll look into that, too.

    Well, I figured out how to use PuTTY, but I don’t have shell access. :( But at least I learned something.
