Introduction
I will show you how to backup site or application code and database in PHP based Codeigniter framework. In the world of web it is important to take backup of our site and database frequently. You don’t know when you’d come across unexpected situation which causes your site stop working. Here I have developed an application in Codeigniter, which will help you to take backup the application code and database.
While most web hosting company do a daily backup of a customer’s database and site, relying on them to make backups and provide them at no cost is risky also.
If you do not want it to use with Codeigniter you could also use it in simple PHP application and for that you just need to understand the logic carefully so that you can convert the code into equivalent PHP.
Prerequisites
Apache 2.4 http server, PHP 7.4.3, Codeigniter 3.1.11, MySQL 8.0.17
Note I have used
md5()for encrypting some values. It’s up to you which algorithm you want to use.
Please go through the below sections for coding example on how to take backup site and database using Codeigniter.
Project Directory
It’s assumed that you have setup Apache, PHP and Codeigniter in Windows system.
Now I will create a project root directory called codeIgniter-backup-site-and-db the Apache server’s htdocs folder.
Now move all the directories and files from CodeIgniter framework into codeIgniter-backup-site-and-db directory.
I may not mention the project root directory in subsequent sections and I will assume that I am talking with respect to the project root directory.
MySQL Tables
First thing is you need to create database tables. The below backup table stores the information for backup.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `backup` (
`backup_id` int unsigned COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`backup_name` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`backup_location` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`created_date` timestamp COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
PRIMARY KEY (`backup_id`),
UNIQUE KEY `backup_name_UNIQUE` (`backup_name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci;The below session table stores session information for each client or user who access this backup page. This session table is used only if you are going to store session information into table. For this example I am saving session information into file.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `ci_sessions` (
`id` varchar(128) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`ip_address` varchar(45) COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`timestamp` int(10) unsigned COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
`data` blob NOT NULL,
KEY `ci_sessions_timestamp` (`timestamp`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 COLLATE=utf8mb4_unicode_ci;If you do not want to save the session information then you can use default session storage mechanism – file system. To use default session storage mechanism you just need to specify the physical path for sess_save_path in application/config/config.php file. For example, if you want to save into application/cache directory then set as sess_save_path = APPPATH . 'cache/';
Directory – assets
Create assets directory, where css, images and js files will reside, at the root level i.e. parallel to application directory as shown into the picture.
Download images from the below link and put into assets/images directory
Directory – backups
Create backups/databases and backups/sites directory which will hold the backups for databases and sites correspondingly as shown below picture:
Database Configurations
Configure database settings at location application/config/database.php.
...
'hostname' => 'localhost',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => 'root',
'database' => 'roytuts',
...
'char_set' => 'utf8mb4',
'dbcollat' => 'utf8mb4_general_ci',
...Session Configuration
Modify the config.php file at location application/config/config.php for session.
...
$config['encryption_key'] = '2d8+e6]K0?ocWp7&`K)>6Ky"|.x|%nuwafC~S/+6_mZI9/17y=sKKG.;Tt}k';
...
$config['sess_driver'] = 'files';
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';
$config['sess_expiration'] = 7200;
$config['sess_save_path'] = APPPATH . 'cache/';
$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;
$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;
...Autoload Configuration
Modify the autoload.php file at location application/config/ to auto-load few drivers and helpers to avoid repeated loading such things.
$autoload['libraries'] = array('database', 'session');
$autoload['helper'] = array('url', 'file', 'text', 'form');View File
This view file displays the page on UI (User Interface) and user will select the appropriate input to take backups. The following code is written into application/views/backup.php file.
