Mysqldump is an effective tool to backup MySQL database. It creates a *.sql file with DROP table, CREATE table and INSERT into sql-statements of the source database. To restore the database, execute the *.sql file on destination database.
Using Mysqldump, you can backup a local database and restore it on a remote database at the same time, using a single command.

Backup: # mysqldump -u root -p[root_password] [database_name] > dumpfilename.sql
Restore:# mysql -u root -p[root_password] [database_name] < dumpfilename.sql

I have moderate level PHP programming skills. I am also interested in merging those skills inside of the WordPress app. With their advanced responsive design themes and many other functions it seems like a good idea. I have tried loading some PHP plug-ins in WP – but I don't seem to get them to do more than basics.

Can anybody help me on how I can get started working with PHP/MySQL inside of the WordPress app?
