Dumping MySQL tables to map the structure
February 28th, 2009In my examples I have put up a set of files (in zip format) that will allow you to dump the structure any database table you have access to on your site. The example files use jQuery to make the writing of the JavaScript code a little more compact but if you don’t want to use jQuery (or can’t) feel free to change the code. The php files require a back-end version of PHP that is 5.2 or greater.
Note that you do not want to leave these files on your site unprotected for security reasons. The original files could be modified to require a login. You could track a request through a session number or several other ways to ways can be used to restrict access.
