Backup an entire website and database using PHP


I've been at this for a bit now and this is the closest I've gotten to backing up an entire site and database with PHP. The issue is I can't figure out why I continue to receive errors on lines 145 and 154.

Error:Notice: Undefined variable: arr_zip in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\backup.php on line 145

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\backup.php on line 145

Notice: Undefined variable: delete_zip in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\backup.php on line 154

Solution

  • In this block of code:

    //get the array of zip files
    if(glob("*.zip") != false) 
    {
       $arr_zip = glob("*.zip");
    }
    //copy the backup zip file to site-backup-stark folder
    foreach ($arr_zip as $key => $value) //error here
    

    If your call to glob("*.zip") returns a 'falsey' value your variable $arr_zip won't be initialised and you'll get an error in the foreach that follows it. Check for false explicitly with

        if(glob("*.zip") !== false) 
    

    If this continues to fail you need to investigate why glob() is failing. I don't have a suggestion for that.

    Later, you haven't initialised $delete_zip at all, somewhere you need

    $delete_zip = array();
