creating shortcut to backup menu

Posted: 2011-07-13, 19:29 creating shortcut to backup menu

I have a page of utilities on my servers that has several forms.
Each form starts a perl or php program to do file purges, maintenance, etc.

I just installed dumper and now I am adding it to my utilities page.

This is what my current Dumper forms looks like, which goes to the main Dumper menu on one server.

<form action="http://www.mywebsite.com/php/MySQLDumper/index.php" method="post">
<input name="dummy" type="submit" value="Data Base Backup" />
</form>

Is there any way to add selectors in my forms to select a config file and start the backup?
/index.php?usethisconfig&startbackup

I want to do this because I have 3 servers and several databases that need backing up and I thought it would go a little faster having direct commands for the whole process.

Thanks for any help

Install a tool like liveHTTP-Headers, start a dump with your selection, analyze which params are transferred and add them to your POST-form.
