I would double check and ask them about that, but if that's really the situation, then look on phpclasses.org or hotscripts.com for a script that emulates mysqldump. Or, not sure on this one, see if you can just get a copy of the program and place it in one of your own directories to run. It comes with MySQL. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
