use mysqldump command for mySql db:
$command = "/usr/bin/mysqldump -u mysql_username -h mysql_host -p mysql_password database_name> /path_to_export_location/file_name.sql";
exec($command, NULL, NULL);
make a look at documentation in MySQL
CREATEandINSERTstatements with your PHP code and put into your SQL file.
