Encrypting a MYSQLdump

Post by victusinambitus »

What is the best way to encrypt a MYSQLDump in PHP?
Is there eny inbuilt function in PHP to do this?
If not how would I track down if there are any third party utilties preinstalled on my shared server on Dreamweaver?
Thanks in advance

You can use the mcrypt extension to encrypt anything in pretty much any way you want.

But are you not using mysqldump for this? That's not PHP. Use any command-line encryption thing that you want.
