How can I export MySQL database with a PHP script?

I need one script that when I open the script.php page for example, that export me one database from MySQL to an SQL document, and I don't know how to do it in PHP, can some one help me with that?

Edited Code:

<?php

$dbhost   = "localhost";
$dbuser   = "root";
$dbpwd    = "";
$dbname   = "activmanagement";
$dumpfile = $dbname . "_" . date("Y-m-d_H-i-s") . ".sql";

passthru("D:/wamp/bin/mysql/mysql5.6.17/bin/mysqldump --opt --host=$dbhost --user=$dbuser --password=$dbpwd $dbname > $dumpfile");

// report - disable with // if not needed
// must look like "-- Dump completed on ..." 

echo "$dumpfile "; passthru("tail -1 $dumpfile");

?>

This line:

passthru("D:/wamp/bin/mysql/mysql5.6.17/bin/mysqldump --opt --host=$dbhost --user=$dbuser --password=$dbpwd $dbname > $dumpfile");

Refer PHP - exec() vs system() vs passthru(). You just need something like this

<?php
    $dbhost = 'localhost';
    $dbuser = 'root';
    $dbpass = '';
    $dbname   = 'activmanagement';

    $sql_backup_file = $dbname . date("Y-m-d-H-i-s") . '.gz';
    $dump = "mysqldump --opt -h $dbhost -u $dbuser -p $dbpass $dbname | gzip > $sql_backup_file";

    system($dump);
?>
